IL-7 Receptor alpha ChainRabbit anti-Human, Mouse, Rat, Polyclonal, Rockland™

Description

• Store vial at -20°C prior to opening
• Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage
• Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing
• Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature
• This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid
• Dilute only prior to immediate use
• This antibody is specific for mouse IL-7 receptor protein
• A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with IL-7 receptor protein from human, mouse and rat sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence
• Cross-reactivity with IL-7 receptor protein from other sources has not been determined
• Anti-IL-7 receptor alpha chain antibody is useful for researchers interested in Immunology Research
• CD127 (Interleukin-7, IL-7) is a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of lymphopoiesis
• The response of cells to CD127 is dependent on the presence of the interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R); the active receptor is an alpha/gamma chain heterodimer
• CD127 consists of an alpha chain and a gamma chain
• The gamma(c) chain, which also associates with the interleukin-2 receptor, serves primarily to activate signal transduction by the IL7R complex, while the alpha chain of IL7R determines specific signaling events through its association with cytoplasmic signaling molecules
• CD127 promotes the proliferation of precursor B cells, thymocytes, T cell progenitors, and mature CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
• The biological effects of IL7 are mediated by the binding of IL7 to the specific cell surface receptor
• Diseases associated with CD127 dysfunction include severe combined immunodeficiency and T cell negative/B cell negative/NK positive severe combined immunodeficiency.
