CD44 cell surface antigen is a ~95kD glycoprotein expressed by most leucocytes and a subpopulation of thymocytes. In immunohistochemical staining, this antibody labels several cell types including medullary thymocytes, kupffer cells, kidney tubular epithelial cells and gut smooth muscle cells. The expression of CD44 is upregulated upon cell activation.
