Mouse Anti-CD62L (LECAM-1, L Selectin, Leukocyte, Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule) (PE)
CD62L cell surface antigen is a 150kD glycoprotein also known as L-selectin. CD62L is expressed by B and T lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes.
CD62L plays an important role in leucocyte tethering and rolling on the endothelial cell surface and for the homing of naïve lymphocytes to lymph nodes and Peyers patches via HEV. Neutrophils require a constant supply of this molecule on the cell surface for migration into peripheral tissues and adhesion to activated endothelium at sites of inflammation, where CD62L is rapidly shed as soluble L-selectin, but surface expression still remains.
The expression of CD62L is down regulated on lymphocytes and neutrophils by PMA stimulation.
