CD27 Hamster anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 510, Clone: LG.3A10, BD

Description

• The LG.3A10 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD27, a lymphocyte-restricted member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor family which binds to CD70
• The CD27 molecule is a 45-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein which is constitutively expressed by lymphocytes of the T lineage: virtually all thymocytes and over 90% of peripheral T cells bearing both αβ and γδ T-cell receptors
• CD27 cooperates with the pre-TCR in mediating thymocyte differentiation and expansion
• In addition, one to ten percent of mature peripheral B cells express CD27, and CD27’s role in the differentiation of human plasma cells has been studied
• Mouse NK cells, freshly isolated and IL-2-activated, also express CD27
• In the bone marrow, CD27 is found on a progenitor population which provides short-term hematopoietic reconstitution
• Cells of the myeloid lineage do not express CD27
• Cross-linked LG.3A10 mAb has been reported to amplify the proliferative response of purified T lymphocytes to suboptimal mitogenic stimulation1 and to enhance NK-cell proliferation and IFN-γ production
• In contrast, non-cross-linked LG.3A10 mAb inhibits CD3-induced pre-T cell development by interfering with the receptor-ligand interaction
• This hamster mAb to a mouse leukocyte antigen has been observed to cross-react with a similar population of rat leukocytes.
