Invitrogen™ CD131 Monoclonal Antibody (1C1), Biotin, eBioscience™

Description

Description: The 1C1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the human CD131 molecule, also known as the common beta subunit (betaC). The common beta subunit associates with the specific alpha subunits of IL-3 receptor, IL-5 receptor and GM-CSF receptor to form high affinity receptors for these cytokines. These cytokine receptors are expressed by neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and hematopoietic progenitor cells and play a crucial role in growth/activation of eosinophils and in the inflammatory response. Applications Reported: This 1C1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 1C1 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

The protein encoded by this gene is the common beta chain of the high affinity receptor for IL-3, IL-5 and CSF. Defects in this gene have been reported to be associated with protein alveolar proteinosis (PAP).
