Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

CD7 (gp40, Leu9) is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. Its N-terminal amino acids 1-107 are highly homologous to Ig kappa-L chains whereas the carboxy-terminal region of the extracellular domain is proline-rich and has been postulated to form a stalk from which the Ig domain projects. CD7 is expressed on the majority of immature and mature T-lymphocytes, and T cell leukemia. It is also found on natural killer cells, a small subpopulation of normal B cells and on malignant B cells. Cross-linking surface CD7 positively modulates T cell and NK cell activity as measured by calcium fluxes, expression of adhesion molecules, cytokine secretion and proliferation. CD7 associates directly with phosphoinositol 3'-kinase. CD7 ligation induces production of D-3 phosphoinositides and tyrosine phosphorylation.

CD7, also known as gp40 or Leu9, is a 40 kDa receptor and member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. It features an N-terminal region (amino acids 1-107) that is highly homologous to Ig kappa light chains, while its carboxyl-terminal region is proline-rich, forming a stalk from which the Ig domain projects. CD7 is prominently expressed on the majority of immature and mature T lymphocytes, as well as T cell leukemias. It is also found on natural killer cells, a small subpopulation of normal B cells, and malignant B cells. CD7 plays a crucial role in modulating immune cell activity. Cross-linking of surface CD7 enhances T cell and NK cell functions, as evidenced by increased calcium flux, expression of adhesion molecules, cytokine secretion, and proliferation. CD7 directly associates with phosphoinositol 3-kinase, and its ligation induces the production of D-3 phosphoinositides and tyrosine phosphorylation. The expression of CD7 is an important marker in leukemia diagnostics, highlighting its significance in both normal immune function and disease states.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

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.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

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