Calreticulin serves as a multifunctional chaperone protein residing primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it plays essential roles in protein folding, calcium homeostasis, and quality control of newly synthesized glycoproteins. Beyond its ER functions, CALR has garnered significant research attention for its involvement in immunogenic cell death, where surface-exposed calreticulin acts as an "eat-me" signal for phagocytic cells. This protein also features prominently in autoimmune research as the Sicca syndrome antigen A (SSA/Ro), making it a valuable target for investigators studying both fundamental cell biology and disease mechanisms.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 2E2, offers the reproducibility that demanding experimental workflows require. Because recombinant production ensures a sequence-defined, consistent reagent across lots, researchers can confidently build upon previous results without concerns about batch-to-batch variation that sometimes affects traditionally produced antibodies.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance across multiple experimental platforms. Western blot analysis of 293 whole cell lysate reveals a clean band at the predicted 49 kDa molecular weight, confirming accurate target recognition. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded human placenta tissue shows effective antigen detection following citrate buffer retrieval, while immunofluorescence staining in HepG2 cells enables clear visualization of subcellular localization patterns. Flow cytometry analysis using JK cells further confirms utility for single-cell protein quantification, with distinct signal separation from isotype controls.
With validated cross-species reactivity for human and mouse samples, this antibody supports comparative studies and translational research models. The flexibility across ELISA, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry applications makes it a versatile addition to cell marker and protein quality control investigations.
