IRDye® HA Optical Probes by LI-COR Biosciences

Manufacturer LI-COR Biosciences
The IRDye HA Optical Probes, IRDye 800CW HA and IRDye 680RD HA may be used to target the lymphatic system and those tumors over-expressing CD44 receptors. Hyaluronan (Hyaluronic acid; HA) is an extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan formed from disaccharide units containing N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. Hyaluronan interacts with several cell surface receptors, namely CD44, RHAMM (receptor for Hyaluronan mediated motility; CD168), LYVE-1 (lymphatic vessel endothelial Hyaluronan recepto... Read more

The IRDye HA Optical Probes, IRDye 800CW HA and IRDye 680RD HA may be used to target the lymphatic system and those tumors over-expressing CD44 receptors.

Hyaluronan (Hyaluronic acid; HA) is an extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan formed from disaccharide units containing N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. Hyaluronan interacts with several cell surface receptors, namely CD44, RHAMM (receptor for Hyaluronan mediated motility; CD168), LYVE-1 (lymphatic vessel endothelial Hyaluronan receptor-1), HARE (Hyaluronan receptor for endocytosis), layilin, and Toll-4. It binds to proteoglycans in cartilage and other tissues and fills an important structural role in the organization of the extra-cellular matrix. The agent is catabolized by receptor-mediated endocytosis and lysosomal degradation after transport via the lymph to lymph nodes.
