Anti-Hu CD100 PE - 100 tests

CD100, also known as semaphorin 4D, is a homodimerizing type I transmembrane glycoprotein containing an extracellular semaphorin domain. It is expressed on most hematopoietic cells with the exception of immature bone marrow cells, erythrocytes and platelets. A 120 kDa soluble form is generated from the transmembrane form by proteolytic cascade following primary T and B cell activation. It seems CD100 acts through dampening CD72-mediated negative signaling. CD100 promotes angiogenesis, invasive growth, proliferation and anti-apoptosis of cancer cells in vitro. Higher expression levels of CD100 correlate with poor survival in soft tissue sarcoma patients.
