CD19 Monoclonal Antibody (HIB19), Super Bright™ 702, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

• Description: The 2H7 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD20, a 33-36 kDa transmembrane protein
• CD20 is expressed by developing B cells as well as mature B cells but not plasma cells
• CD20 has been detected at low levels on a small subset of mature T cells
• It is suggested that CD20 plays a role in B-cell activation
• Applications Reported: The 2H7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis
• Applications Reported: This 2H7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis
• Applications Tested: This 2H7 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells
• This may be used at 5 μL (0.5 μg) per test
• A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL
• Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test
• Super Bright 702 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 702 nm
• We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter
• Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome
• When using two or more Super Bright dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Staining Buffer (Product No
• SB-4400) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions
• Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer for more information
• CD19 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and has two Ig like domains
• The CD19 molecule is expressed on 100% of the peripheral B cells as defined by expression of kappa or lambda light chains
• CD19 appears to be expressed on myeloid leukemia cells, particularly those of monocytic lineage
• Leukemia phenotype studies have demonstrated that the earliest and broadest B cell restricted antigen is the CD19 antigen
• The receptor for CD19 is an important functional regulator of normal and malignant B cell proliferation, and is expressed in all B cell precursor leukemias
• Lymphocytes proliferate and differentiate in response to various concentrations of different antigens
• The ability of the B cell to respond in a specific, yet sensitive manner to the various antigens is achieved with the use of low-affinity antigen receptors
• CD19 is a cell surface molecule which assembles with the antigen receptor of B lymphocytes in order to decrease the threshold for antigen receptor-dependent stimulation
• Besides being a signal-amplifying coreceptor for the B cell receptor (BCR), CD19 can also signal independently of BCR co-ligation and is a central regulatory component upon which multiple signaling pathways converge
• Mutation of the CD19 gene results in hypogammaglobulinemia, whereas CD19 overexpression causes B cell hyperactivity.
