CD127 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 421, Clone: hIL-7R-M21, BD

Description

• The hIL-7R-M21 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the 60-90kDa glycoprotein, CD127
• CD127 is also known as the IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rα) subunit
• The IL-7 receptor complex is a heterodimer composed of CD127 and the common gamma chain (c, CD132), shared by other cytokine receptors (IL-2R, IL-4R, IL-9R, IL-15R, and IL-21R)
• CD127 is expressed on thymocytes, T- and B-cell progenitors, mature T cells, and some lymphoid and myeloid cells
• In vitro experiments show the expression of CD127 is down-regulated following T cell activation
• Studies indicate that the IL-7 Receptor plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of mature T cells
• Recently, it has been shown that low surface expression of CD127, in combination with intermediate to high surface expression of CD25, the α chain of the IL-2 receptor complex, can distinguish between human regulatory and conventional CD4+ T cells in human adult and cord blood, lymph nodes and thymus
• The antibody was conjugated to Brilliant Violet 421 and has been developed in collaboration with Sirigen
• With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, Brilliant Violet 421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter)
• Brilliant Violet 421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates
• Host Species: Mouse Clone: hIL-7R-M21 Isotype: IgG1, κ Species Reactivity: Human Flow Cytometry
