Description
CD21 (Mature B-Cell & Follicular Dendritic Cell Marker)(CR2/1952), 1mg/mL Antibody | BNUM1952-50| Gentaur Distribution US, UK & Europe
Summary.: This antibody recognizes a protein of 140 kDa, which is identified as the complement receptor 2(CR2)/CD21. This protein is expressed strongly on mature B cells, follicular dendritic cells and weakly on immature thymocytes and T lymphocytes. In B-cell ontogeny, CD21 appears after the pre-B-stage, is maintained during peripheral B-cell development and is lost upon terminal differentiation into plasma cells. CD21 expression is also gradually lost after stimulation of B cells in vitro.CD21 functions as receptor for C3d, C3dg and iC3b Complement components, for EBV and for IFNalpha.CD21 binds to CD23 and associates with CD19, CD81 and Leu13 to form a large signal-transduction complex involved in B cell activation.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors. .
