Transferrin Receptor antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN94223

Product Details anti-Transferrin Receptor Antibody (FITC)

Target: Transferrin Receptor (TFRC) (Transferrin Receptor (p90, CD71) (TFRC))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Transferrin Receptor antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The antibody MEM-75 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD71 antigen (transferrin receptor), a 95 kDa type II homodimeric transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on activated B and T lymphocytes, macrophages and erythroid precursors, it is lost on resting blood leukocytes. The antibody MEM-75 does not block binding of transferrin to the receptor.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human

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: NALM-6 human pre-B cell line

Clone: MEM-75

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: Transferrin receptor,CD71 (transferrin receptor) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein expressed as homodimer in erythroid blood cell line and in activated leukocytes. Upon binding of holotransferrin (complex of transferrin and iron ions), CD71 is internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Acidification of endosomes by vesicular membrane proton pumps leads to dissociation of iron ions, whereas transferrin (apotransferrin) remains associated with CD71 and recycles to the cell surface, where it is released upon exposure to normal pH . CD71 is also involved in uptake of non-transferrin bound iron.,TfR1, TfR, TR, Trfr, T9, p90, TFRC
