Validated Antibody for EV Marker CD81 Detection by Fluorescent or Chemiluminescent Western Blot
ExoBrite™ CD81 Western Antibody is a mouse monoclonal IgG1, kappa antibody validated for the detection of CD81 in extracellular vesicle (EV) extracts by western blot. Available in near-infrared fluorescent formats (680/700 and 770/800) and an HRP-conjugated chemiluminescent format, it enables bright, low-background detection of CD81 for exosome and EV protein analysis.
The near-infrared conjugates deliver greater signal-to-noise ratios compared to visible-light fluorophores, supporting multiplex detection and higher sensitivity. The HRP-conjugated option allows seamless integration with chemiluminescent western blot workflows.
CD81 is a core member of the tetraspanin family (alongside CD9 and CD63), making it an essential marker for EV characterisation. This antibody complements ExoBrite™ CD9 and CD63 Western Antibodies to form a complete tetraspanin profiling toolkit.
