Anti-CD3 [500.A2] monoclonal antibody

Invented at Yale University

Info

Catalogue Number 155246
Applications N/A
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets CD3
Reactivity N/A
Relevance Monoclonal antibody capable of activating T cells and cloned T cell lines.

Background and Research Application
The CD3 complex, composed of four distinct CD3 polypeptide chains (CD3γ, CD3δ and 2X CD3Ɛ), associates with the T cell antigen receptor (TCR. CD3 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, involved in antigen recognition, T lymphocyte activation and signal transduction. CD3 may play a role in TCR-induced growth arrest, cell survival and proliferation. The CD3 antigen is present on 68-82% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, 65-85% of thymocytes and Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. It is never expressed on B or NK cells. Decreased percentages of T lymphocytes may be observed in some autoimmune diseases.
This antibody activates cloned T cell lines and normal T cells, provided suitable accessory cells and signals are present. Binding of anti-CD3 (500.A2) to CD3 initiates the intracellular biochemical pathway resulting in cellular activation and proliferation.
Host Hamster
Immunogen 25-kDa ε chain of the T-cell receptor-associated CD3 complex
Immunogen UniProt ID A0A3Q0CNZ4
Subclass IgG
Notes Production Details
Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A.

Storage Conditions
Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Points of Interest
This antibody likely binds CD3 in a location close to a postulated binding site of CD4 to the TCR.

Concentration
1mg/ml as standard
