Background
NCAM / CD56, as a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of adhesion molecules is characterized by several immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains. The extracellular part of NCAM consists of five of these Ig domains and two fibronectin type III homology regions. NCAM is encoded by a single copy gene composed of 26 exons. However, at least 20-30 distinct isoforms can be generated by alternative splicing and by posttranslational modifications, such as sialylation. During sialylation, polysialic acid (PSA) carbohydrates are attached to the extracellular part of NCAM. Through its extracellular region, NCAM mediates homophilic interactions. In addition, NCAM can also undergo heterophilic interactions by binding extracellular matrix components, such as laminin, or other cell adhesion molecules, such as integrins. NCAM can be found in central and peripheral nerve cells, neuroendocrine tissues and at the surface of NK-cells. Also, NCAM is present in malignancies derived from these tissues and cells.

IHC: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human neuroblastoma stained with Exalpha's CD56, clone C5.9 at 2 ug/ml using peroxidase-conjugate and DAB chromogen. Cell membrane staining of tumor cells is clearly evident. High-temperature heating was used as the retrieval protocol, pressure cooker with citrate buffer, pH 6.5, for 10 min. Exalpha’s anti-CD56,clone C5.9, was added at 2 ug/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by anti-Mouse HRP for 30 minutes at room temperature. Staining was visualized using DAB and methyl green counter stain. Flow Cytometry: Flow cytometry data using Exalpha’s Mouse anti Human CD56 antibody 0561 at 8 µg/ml on human lymphocytes, with Rat anti Mouse PE IgG2a & 2b as a second step. The negative control was generated without the CD56 antibody and without the Rat anti Mouse PE IgG2a & 2b. Western Blot: Western blot analysis using Exalpha’s Mouse anti Human CD56 antibody 0561 at 10 µg/ml (left lane) and 1 µg/ml (right lane) showing a strong reaction on recombinant human NCAM-1/CD56 protein.
