The TC15-12F12.2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD150, also known as SLAM (signaling lymphocyte activation molecule)
CD150 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the CD2 subfamily of the Ig superfamily
It is encoded by the Slamf1 (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 1) gene
CD150 is differentially expressed on subsets of thymocytes, T and B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells
SLAM plays multiple roles in innate and adaptive immunity serving as an adhesion molecule and/or coreceptor
CD150-mediated costimulation of TCR-activated T cells reportedly results in the increased production of IFN-γ by Th1 cells and is required for IL-4 production by T follicular helper cells
CD150 also plays important roles in hematopoietic cell developmental pathways
CD150 is differentially expressed by self-renewing adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) that are CD150+ whereas non-multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells are CD150-
Utilizing additional cell surface markers, lineage-negative CD150+CD48-CD41- cell fractions are reported to be highly enriched for adult HSC
