Info

Catalogue Number 151374
Applications FACS IHC IP WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets CD79a (mb1)

Reactivity Bovine, Chicken, Horse, Human, Guinea Pig, Mouse, Opossum, Pig, Primate, Rat and Rabbit
Relevance The B-cell Antigen receptor constitutes a disulphide linked heterodimer, consisting of CD79a (mb1) and CD79b / B29 polypeptides which are non-covalently associated with membrane bound immunoglobulins on B-cells. CD79a first appears at pre B-cell stage and persists until the plasma cell stage where it is found as an intracellular component. CD79a is found in B-cell lymphomas, in B-cell lines, the majority of acute leukemias of precursor B-cell type and in some myelomas. The CD79a/b heterodimer interacts with at least one tyrosine kinase (Lyn). The induction of tyrosine kinase activity after antigen binding leads to phosphorylation of the CD79a/b dimer, and also of other molecules, thereby initiating intracellular signalling. CD79a is widely used as an adjunct to CD20 as a biomarker for normal and neoplastic B-cells in tissues sections.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Synthetic peptide of 14 amino acids representing residues 202-216 of the human mb-1 cDNA sequence.
