CD21 antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN302019

Product Details anti-CD21 Antibody (FITC)

Target: CD21 (CR2) (Complement Component (3d/Epstein Barr Virus) Receptor 2 (CR2))

Reactivity: Human, Pig, Cow, Dog

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD21 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The antibody LT21 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD21 (CR2), a 145 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein (complement C3d receptor - C3dR) expressed on B lymphocytes, follicular dendritic cells, some epithelial cells and a subsets of T lymphocytes. It is not expressed on immature B cells.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human, Porcine, Bovine, Canine (Dog)

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: IM9 human B-lymphoblastoid cell line

Clone: LT21

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Comment:

The purified antibody is conjugated with Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions. The reagent is free of unconjugated FITC and adjusted for direct use. No reconstitution is necessary.

Background: Complement C3d receptor 2,CD21 (complement receptor 2, CR2) binds C3 complement fragments, especially its breakdown fragments, which remain covalently attached to complement activating surfaces or antigen. CD21 has important roles in uptake and retention of immunocomplexes, survival of memory B cells and in development and maintenance of the humoral response to T-dependent antigens. CD21 also serves as a key receptor for Epstein-Barr virus binding and is involved in targeting prions to folicular dendritic cells and expediting neuroinvasion following peripheral exposure to prions. A soluble form of the CD21 (sCD21) is shed from the lymphocyte surface and retains its ability to bind respective ligands.,CR2, C3DR2, CVID7, SLEB9
