Double immunolabeling and CLSM analysis of developing and adult epidermis for NF1 protein and syndecan-1. (a) At 14 weeks EGA, the NF1 protein (red) shows fibrillar pattern in basal cells while syndecan-1 (green) is localized to the plasma membrane of keratinocytes in all epidermal layers. Close spatial distribution or colocalization (yellow) is detected on some basal cells. (b) In adult epidermis the immunosignals for the NF1 protein (red) and syndecan-1 (green) are completely separate. Scale bars 10 μm in a,b, 2 μm in c,d.

AlexaFluor A647 conjugated Mouse anti Human CD138 antibody, clone B-A38 (MCA2459A647) used for the detection of CD138 on bone marrow cells by flow cytometry.
Image caption:
B-A38 and DL-101 are both present on bone marrow plasma cells. Four bone marrow samples were used to test the capacity of DL-101 to detect CD138+ cells. (a) The analysis was done on viable cells, using Sytox Blue exclusion, and then on gated cells, which represented less than 0.5% of total cells. (b) Profiles are showed for B-A38 and DL-101 PE-conjugated mAbs for one sample gated on region. The mean frequency ± S.E.M for CD138+ cells was 78.7% ± 1.2% for B-A38 and 59.3% ± 2.1% for DL-101. (c) Frequencies of total are shown for all bone marrow samples according to B-A38 and DL-101; the mean ± S.E.M. was 0.20% ± 0.06% and 0.11% ± 0.05%, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the B-A38 and DL-101 staining in these four bone marrow samples (nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test).

Mouse anti human CD138 antibody, clone B-A38 (MCA2459GA) used for the identification of plasma cells in human tonsillar cryostat sections by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
Immunofluorescence analysis of 5-LO expression in subsets of tonsillar B lymphocytes. Tonsils were prepared for immunofluorescence analyses and stained with anti-IgD, anti-CD38, anti-CD138 and DAPI. A) B cells within the mantle zone were stained with anti-IgD (green, A1); anti-5-LO (red, A2) and DAPI (blue, A3). The combined picture (A4 (A1+A2+A3)) depicts high expression of 5-LO in IgD+ cells. B) Germinal centre B cells were stained with anti-CD38 (green, B1); anti-5-LO (red, B2) and DAPI (blue, B3). The combined picture (B4 (B1+B2+B3)) shows very weak expression of 5-LO in CD38++ cells. C) Plasma cells within the germinal centre were stained with anti-CD38 (green, C1); anti-5-LO (red, C2) and DAPI (blue, C3). The combined picture (C4 (C1+C2+C3)) demonstrates no expression of 5-LO in CD38+++ cells. D) Plasma cells outside the germinal centre were stained with anti-CD138 (green, D1); anti-5-LO (red, D2) and DAPI (blue, D3). The combined picture (D4 (D1+D2+D3)) depicts no expression of 5-LO in CD138+ cells. The figure represents one out of four examined tonsils.

Mouse anti human CD138 antibody, clone B-A38 recognizes human CD138, also known as Syndecan-1 (SDC-1). CD138 is a member of the transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan family (O’Connell et al. 2004, Sanderson et al. 2008). It is composed of a core protein (comprising 3 domains; a short cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain, and a long extracellular domain) and covalently attached heparan sulfate chains (Sanderson et al. 2008).
Syndecan-1 is expressed on the surface of plasma cells within the hematopoietic system and on the surface of mature epithelial cells (O’Connell et al. 2004). It acts as an extracellular matrix receptor, involved in many cellular functions, including cell binding, cell signaling and cytoskeletal organization through cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion (Sanderson et al. 2008).
