Clone No. | AFD- BU40 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | Activate, stimulatory, FC |
Species Reactivity | Human |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific for CD72, which is highly expressed by pre-B cells and B-cells, but not terminally differentiated plasma cells. |
Alternative Name | Lyb-2; B-cell differentiation antigen CD72 |
UniProt | P21854 |
Immunogen | This antibody was raised against the HF B1 plasmacytoid cell line, which is considered to be late B-like. |
Application Notes | This antibody has been used to investigate cell-surface expression of CD72 in FACS analysis (Kataoka et al, 2013). This antibody has been shown to induce resting B cells to enter the G1 phase of the cell cycle, stimulate B cell expression of major histocompatibility complex class II antigen and potentiate the capacity of IL-4 to induce CD23 production (Katira et al, 1992). It also stimulates TNF-α and IL-6 production in CD14+ monocytes (Yoshida et al, 2015). Ligation of CD72 by this antibody has been observed to suppress the proliferation of an acute myelogenous leukaemia cell line (Kataoka et al, 2013). |
