Milli-Mark Anti-CD79alphacy-PE Antibody, clone HM57

General description

CD79 is a disulphide-linked transmembrane heterodimer with a molecular mass of 82-95 kDa belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It comprises the two glycoproteins, CD79α, with a molecular mass of 40-45 kDa, and CD79β, with a molecular mass of 37 kDa. CD79 is non-covalently associated with surface Ig, forming the B-cell receptor complex, which is required for antigen recognition. The expression of CD79 is largely restricted to B-lineage cells (Pilozzi,1998). In precursor B cells, the CD79 protein chains are already expressed in the cytoplasm (CyCD79). Surface expression of CD79 begins at the pro-B cell stage and persists throughout the B-cell differentiation. CD79α is more strongly expressed by B cells in the follicular mantle zone than by germinal centre B cells, suggesting that activation of mature B cells downregulates CD79 expression. CD79 expression ceases around the onset of plasma cell differentiation, with only a proportion of plasma cells containing CD79 (Comans-Bitter, 1997)(Nakamura, 1997). The HM57 antibody was clustered as Anti-CD79αcy at the Fifth International Workship on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (Engel, 1995).

Specificity

Antibody recognizes Human CD79αcy antigen.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide sequence comprising amino acids 202-216 of the CD79α protein. This oligopeptide represents an intra-cytoplasmic C-terminal part of the protein.

Application

Milli-Mark Anti-CD79αcy-PE Antibody, clone HM57 is an antibody against CD79αcy for use in FC.
