Invitrogen™ CD85j (ILT2) Monoclonal Antibody (HP-F1), PE-eFluor™ 610, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Beschreibung

Description: The monoclonal antibody HP-F1 recognizes CD85j, also known as ILT2, LILRB1, and LIR1. CD85j is a member of the ILT (immunoglobulin-like transcript)/LIR (leukocyte Ig-like receptor)/MIR (monocyte Ig-like receptor) family. CD85j is a single transmembrane glycoprotein with a long cytoplasmic domain containing 4 ITIMs which signal through interactions with SHP-1. Expression is found on myeloid cells (monocytes and dendritic cells) and some lymphoid cells including, subsets of NK, T and B cells. Expression has been correlated with leukemias such as ALL and CLL. Expression on CD8+ cells correlates with effector cell function and plays an important role in viral infections, including HIV, Ebstein Barr and CMV. The ligands for CD85j are MHC Class I molecules such as HLA-G, A, F, B27, E and F. Applications Reported: This HP-F1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This HP-F1 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 μL (0.125 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. PE-eFluor 610 can be excited with laser lines from 488-561 nm and emits at 607 nm. We recommend using a 610/20 band pass filter (equivalent to PE-Texas Red).

This gene is a member of the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LIR) family, which is found in a gene cluster at chromosomal region 19q13.4. The encoded protein belongs to the subfamily B class of LIR receptors which contain two or four extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane domain, and two to four cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). The receptor is expressed on immune cells where it binds to MHC class I molecules on antigen-presenting cells and transduces a negative signal that inhibits stimulation of an immune response. It is thought to control inflammatory responses and cytotoxicity to help focus the immune response and limit autoreactivity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
