Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ 67007942

Catalog No. 67-007-942

Description

Description: The 53-6.7 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD8a molecule. CD8a is an approximately 32-34 kDa cell surface receptor expressed either as a heterodimer with the CD8 beta chain (CD8 alpha beta) or as a homodimer (CD8 alpha alpha). A majority of thymocytes and a subpopulation of mature alpha beta TCR T cells express CD8 alpha beta while gamma delta TCR T cells, a subpopulation of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and dendritic cells express CD8 alpha alpha. CD8 binds to MHC class I and through its association with protein tyrosine kinase p56lck plays a role in T cell development and activation of mature T cells. Applications Reported: This 53-6.7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 53-6.7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 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.

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.
