CD53 Antibody (161-2) - Azide and BSA Free Summary

• Description: 1.0 mg/ml of antibody purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G. Prepared in 10mM PBS WITHOUT BSA & azide. Also available at 200 ug/ml WITH BSA & azide (NBP2-44609).
  
  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8C. Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80C.
• Additional Information: Clone 161-2 was used by HLDA to establish CD designation.
• Immunogen: Stimulated human leukocytes
• Localization: Cell Surface
• Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 33-55kDa, identified as CD53 (Workshop VI; Code N-L033). It is expressed on monocytes and macrophages, dendritic cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and on T and B cells from every stage of differentiation but is absent from platelets, red blood cells. CD53 appears to be the marker with widest reactivity as well as the marker with the strictest specificity to hematopoietic cells. CD53 is a type III membrane with both termini in the cytoplasm and two loops in the extracellular environment. This molecule, in common with other members of tetraspan family, is involved in cellular activation as part of a signal transduction complex involving other membrane glycoproteins. CD53 crosslinking induces calcium flux on human monocyte and B cells. Cross-linking of CD53 promotes activation of resting human B-lymphocytes. This monoclonal antibody recognizes CD53 transfected cells and partially inhibits T-cell proliferation induced by CD3 antibody (clone: UCHT1).

Background

The antibody reacts with CD53 antigen, a glycoprotein of 32-40 kDa belonging to the tetraspans family (TM4SF). CD53 antigen is exclusivelly expressed on leucocytes (not present on platelets, red blood cells and non-hematopoietic cells). CD53 is important for signal transduction. CD53 cross-linking promotes activation of human B cells and rat macrophages.
