Beschreibung

Description: The PC61.5 antibody reacts with mouse CD25, the 55 kDa interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain (IL-2R alpha). CD25 is expressed by early progenitors of the T and B lineage as well as by activated mature T and B lymphocytes. By itself, CD25 binds IL-2 only with low affinity. However, CD25 associates with CD122 (IL-2 receptor beta chain) and CD132 (common gamma chain) to form the high affinity IL-2 receptor. Binding of IL-2 to both the high and low affinity classes of IL-2 receptor is inhibited by the PC61.5 antibody. CD25 plays a role in lymphocyte differentiation and activation/proliferation. Applications Reported: This PC61.5 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This PC61.5 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This may be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Super Bright 702 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 702 nm. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

CD23 is a 45 kDa glycoprotein that serves as a low-affinity receptor for IgE, playing a crucial role in regulating IgE responses and B cell activation. It is expressed on mature B cells, mantle zone B cells, follicular dendritic cells, and at lower levels on T cells, NK cells, Langerhans cells, and platelets. CD23 expression is upregulated upon B cell activation, and its soluble forms are biologically active, acting as potent mitogenic factors. CD23 is strongly expressed on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B lymphoblasts and is present on a subpopulation of freshly isolated peripheral blood and tonsil B cells. It is also detected in neoplastic cells from cases of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and some centroblastic/centrocytic lymphomas. Functionally, CD23 is involved in B cell growth, differentiation, and IgE production. It interacts with CD21 and the alpha subunits of CD11b and CD11c, further influencing immune responses. Diseases associated with CD23 dysfunction include chronic conjunctivitis and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, highlighting its importance in both normal immune function and disease states. This makes CD23 a valuable target for antibody customers interested in B-cell-related research and diagnostics.
