BOND Ready-To-Use Primary Antibody
™
CD43 (MT1)
Catalog No: PA0938
Intended Use
This reagent is for in vitro diagnostic use.
CD43 (MT1) monoclonal antibody is intended to be used for the qualitative identification by light microscopy of human CD43 antigen in
formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue by immunohistochemical staining using the automated BOND system (includes Leica BOND-
MAX system and Leica BOND-III system).
The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies and proper controls and
should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
Summary and Explanation
Immunohistochemical techniques can be used to demonstrate the presence of antigens in tissue and cells (see "Using BOND Reagents"
in your BOND user documentation). CD43 (MT1) primary antibody is a ready to use product that has been specifically optimized for use
with BOND Polymer Refine Detection. The demonstration of human CD43 antigen. is achieved by first, allowing the binding of CD43
(MT1) to the section, and then visualizing this binding using the reagents provided in the detection system. The use of these products,
in combination with the automated BOND system, reduces the possibility of human error and inherent variability resulting from individual
reagent dilution, manual pipetting and reagent application.
