CD74 Antibody (LN-2) [CoraFluor™ 1]

CoraFluor™ 1, amine reactive (Catalog:7920) and CoraFluor™ 2, amine reactive (Catalog # 7950) are terbium-based probes that have been developed for use as TR-FRET donors. They emit wavelengths compatible with commonly used fluorescent acceptor dyes such as BODIPY® (or BDY) and Janelia Fluor® dyes, FITC (Catalog # 5440), TMR and Cyanine 5 (Catalog # 5436). CoraFluor™ fluorescence is brighter and more stable in biological media than existing TR-FRET donors, leading to enhanced sensitivity and improved data generation. CoraFluor™ 1 exhibits excitation upon exposure to a 337 nm UV laser.

CD74 Antibody (LN-2) [CoraFluor™ 1] Summary

• Description: CoraFluor(TM) 1 is a high performance terbium-based TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) or TRF (Time-Resolved Fluorescence) donor for high throughput assay development. CoraFluor(TM) 1 absorbs UV light at approximately 340 nm, and emits at approximately 490 nm, 545 nm, 585 nm and 620 nm. It is compatible with common acceptor dyes that absorb at the emission wavelengths of CoraFluor(TM) 1. CoraFluor(TM) 1 can be used for the development of robust and scalable TR-FRET binding assays such as target engagement, ternary complex, protein-protein interaction and protein quantification assays.

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: This antibody was raised by immunizing mice with SU-DHL-4 lymphoma cells.
• Specificity: LN-2 antibody recognizes CD74. It reacts with an epitope residing within 60 amino acids of the extracytoplasmic, COOH terminus of the protein. CD74 is a type II transmembrane protein which binds to the peptide binding groove of newly synthesized MHC class II alpha/beta heterodimers and prevents their premature association with endogenous polypeptides.
• Isotype: IgG Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: CD74
• Purity: Protein A purified

Applications/Dilutions

Background

CD74, also known as the MHC class II associated invariant chain (Ii), is a type II transmembrane protein which binds to the peptide binding groove of newly synthesized MHC class II alpha/beta heterodimers and prevents their premature association with endogenous polypeptides. CD74 is produced in molar excess over MHC class II and some of this is expressed by an unknown pathway on the cell surface independent of, or in association with, MHC class II molecules. The half life of CD74 on the cell surface is only 3 to 4 min after which it is internalized. It has been proposed that cell surface CD74 binds MHC class II molecules which have lost their antigenic peptide leading to internalization and reloading with antigenic peptide. The transport route of class II alpha/beta/Ii complexes is regulated selectively by two forms of CD74 (p33 and p35) which are generated by the use of alternative translation initiation sites. CD74 is expressed primarily by antigen presenting cells such as B lymphocytes (from before the pre-B cell stage to before the plasma cell stage), macrophages and monocytes together, with many epithelial cells. CD74 may exist in different isoforms ranging in size from 33 to 41 kDa, depending on genetic splicing.
