Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human
CD138
Clone MI15
CD138, syndecan-1, is a transmembrane proteoglycan with a main cellular expression in stratified and simple epithelia.
Within the hemopoietic system, CD138 is mainly confined to late stages of B-cell differentiation. CD138 expression is reduced during malignant transformation of various epithelia, and CD138 is rapidly shed by myeloma cells entering into apoptosis, making CD138 a marker of viable myeloma cells. This antibody is useful for the identification of malignancies involving terminally differentiated plasma cells, and CD138 is associated with multiple myeloma. Anti-CD138 may also be useful for the subclassification of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (FFPE) stained with FLEX Anti-CD138, Code IR642/IS642.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The neoplastic cells show a distinct membranous staining reaction.
Clinical application for IR642/IS642. For identification of malignancies involving terminally differentiated plasma cells and multiple myeloma, and for subclassification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Myeloma. The majority of the neoplastic cells show a strong and distinct membranous staining reaction.
Clinical application for IR642/IS642. For identification of malignancies involving terminally differentiated plasma cells and multiple myeloma, and for subclassification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Tonsil. The majority of the plasma cells show a moderate to strong predominantly membranous staining reaction. Scattered stimulated immunoblasts show a moderate to strong staining reaction, while the majority of the germinal center cells and peripheral lymphocytes should be negative.
Recommended control for IR642/IS642. Appendix/Colon/Tonsil.
Appendix. The plasma cells in lamina propria and the epithelial cells show a moderate to strong predominantly membranous staining reaction. The luminal and basal epithelial cells should be demonstrated.
Recommended control for IR642/IS642. Appendix/Colon/Tonsil.

Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human CD138, Clone MI15, is intended for use in immunohistochemistry together with a panel of other antibodies. CD138 is present in malignancies involving terminally differentiated plasma cells, and it is associated with multiple myeloma (1, 2, 3, 4). Interpretation of results must be made within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a certified professional.
The epitope recognized by anti-CD138, MI15, is found within the ectodomain (extracellular part) of the CD138 core protein. Blocking experiments have revealed that the epitope recognized by MI15 seems to be partly overlapping the epitope recognized by another antibody to CD138, clone B-B4 (1, 5). Anti-CD138, MI15, reacts strongly with CD138 expressed by multiple myeloma-derived cell lines, such as U266 and XG-1 (9).
Clone: MI15. Isotype: IgG1, kappa.
Mouse IgG concentration: See label on vial.
The protein concentration between lots may vary without influencing the optimal dilution. The titer of each individual lot is compared and adjusted to a reference lot to ensure a consistent immunohistochemical staining performance from lot-to-lot.

FLEX Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human CD138, Clone MI15, Ready-to-Use (Link), is intended for use in immunohistochemistry together with Autostainer Link instruments. This antibody is useful for the identification of malignancies involving terminally differentiated plasma cells, and it is associated with multiple myeloma (1, 2). Antibodies to CD138 may also be useful for the subclassification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (3). The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
