CD62P PE

Overview

CD62P PE is a Mouse monoclonal targeting CD62P, supplied as a PE format for FC workflows. It supports measurement of Human target expression in common experimental systems.

Key elements and design rationale

• Clone: P.SEL KO2 — consistent clone identity can support panel reproducibility and cross-study comparisons.
• Isotype: IgG1, k — informs selection of matched controls and secondary reagents when relevant.
• Conjugate: PE — enables direct detection in fluorescence-based assays. Excitation is typically matched to Yellow (561nm) lasers in cytometer configurations.
• Host species: Mouse — useful for panel design and control strategy planning.
• Reactivity: Human — interpret staining in the context of species-specific sequence and expression differences.

Key specifications such as clone identity, isotype, and fluorophore conjugation help researchers align panel design, control selection, and instrument configuration with the biological question and sample type.

Biological background

The clone P.SEL KO2, a mouse monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD62P, a 140 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is also known as P-Selectin. It is expressed on activated platelets, megakaryocytes, and endothelial cells. After activation, the CD62P is translocated from intracellular granules to the external membrane, whereas fibrinogen aggregates platelets by bridging glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa between adjacent platelets.

Research relevance and current trends

• High-parameter immunophenotyping: combining CD62P with complementary lineage and activation markers to resolve complex cell states.
• Panel standardization and data comparability: increasing emphasis on consistent reagents, compensation-aware fluorophore choices, and shared gating strategies.
• Integration with single-cell multi-omics: pairing surface marker profiling with transcriptomic or proteomic readouts to connect phenotype to function.

Common research applications

• Flow cytometry: quantify CD62P-positive populations and compare expression distributions across conditions or time points.
• Cell sorting: enrich CD62P-defined subsets for downstream RNA/protein assays or functional readouts.

Changes in measured signal are typically interpreted in the context of cell subset frequency, activation/differentiation state, and sample processing effects rather than as a standalone readout.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Fluorophore selection: consider brightness, spectral overlap, and instrument configuration; compensation and spillover can affect apparent population boundaries.
• Biology-driven confounders: activation state, differentiation, and isoform/PTM variation can shift epitope accessibility and apparent expression.
• Control concepts: include matched isotype and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls where appropriate, and interpret results alongside biological positive/negative reference samples.

For antibody-based assays, monoclonal versus polyclonal format can influence epitope recognition breadth and signal consistency. Conjugated antibodies support direct detection and can simplify multicolor panel design when paired with appropriate controls and instrument settings.
