Description

Armenian Hamster Monoclonal Antibody

The CD103 antigen is a 160-130-105kDa molecule which is expressed on mucosa-associated T lymphocytes and activated cells and on subet of TGF beta -1 cells. This human intra epithelial lymphocyte marker is the E integrin chain associated with the b7 subunit. CD103 antibody stains a few bone marrow cells and, rarely, peripheral blood lymphocytes. CD103 is expressed by 0.5 to 2% of resting lymphocytes in peripheral blood and lymphoid organs.

CD103, also known as ITGAE or Integrin alpha E, is a molecule that non-covalently associates with integrin beta 7 to form a heterodimeric integral membrane protein. This protein is part of the integrin family, characterized by an alpha chain and a beta chain. Specifically, CD103 includes a 150 kDa alpha chain and a 120 kDa beta chain, with the alpha integrin undergoing post-translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide-linked heavy and light chains. CD103 is primarily expressed on mucosa-associated T lymphocytes, intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), and activated cells, as well as a subset of TGF beta-1 cells. It is preferentially found in human intestinal IELs, where it plays a role in adhesion and may serve as an accessory molecule for IEL activation. CD103 binds to epithelial cell antigen E-cadherin, mediating the homing of lymphocytes to the intestinal epithelium. In peripheral blood and lymphoid organs, CD103 is expressed by 0.5 to 2% of resting lymphocytes, and its expression can be upregulated in vitro by stimulating human T cells with mitogens. CD103 is also expressed by hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and some chronic B cell lymphocytic leukemias. The CD103 antibody stains a few bone marrow cells and, rarely, peripheral blood lymphocytes. Diseases associated with CD103 dysfunction include hairy cell leukemia and splenic marginal zone lymphoma.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
