Widely used in biomedical research for the isolation and detection of plasma cells, especially in studies related to multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders. Its high specificity allows for efficient cell surface labeling and flow cytometry analysis. Commonly employed in immunoassays such as ELISA and Western blotting due to the His tag facilitating easy detection and purification. Supports the development of targeted therapies by serving as a marker for tumor cell identification and monitoring treatment response. Also utilized in protein-protein interaction studies to explore signaling pathways involving extracellular matrix components and growth factors.
