ANTI-HU GLYCOPH A 10F7MN FITC, 100T

Product Specific Information

Description: The eBio4KB128 monoclonal antibody recognizes human CD22 (Siglec-2), which is a member of the siglec subgroup of the Ig superfamily. CD22 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of two polypeptide chains, CD22alpha and CD22beta, of 130 and 140 kDa respectively, produced by alternative splicing of the CD22 gene. CD22 is expressed at high levels on mature B cells and B cell lymphomas. The extracellular portion of CD22 contains seven Ig-like domains, some of which are capable of binding ligands with sialic acid moieties expressed on epithelial, endothelial, B and T cells. The intracellular portion of CD22 contains 6 tyrosine residues contained within immunotyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) and immunotyrosine-based activation-like motifs, which are phosphorylated upon B-cell receptor engagement, which enables CD22 to participate in the positive and negative regulation of B-cell receptor signaling.

Applications Reported: This eBio4KB128 (4KB128) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, and immunohistochemical staining.

Applications Tested: This eBio4KB128 (4KB128) 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.

Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Target Information

CD22, also known as BL-CAM, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of two polypeptide chains, CD22alpha and CD22beta, with molecular weights of 130 and 140 kDa, respectively. These chains are produced by alternative splicing of the CD22 gene. CD22 is prominently expressed on mature B cells and B cell lymphomas, including hairy cell leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's lymphoma, but is negative in classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. The extracellular portion of CD22 contains seven Ig-like domains that preferentially bind alpha2,6-linked sialic acid moieties found on epithelial, endothelial, B, and T cells. This binding can be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface. CD22 expression is limited to late stages of B-cell differentiation, making it useful for phenotyping mature leukemias. Intracellularly, CD22 features six tyrosine residues within immunotyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) and activation-like motifs. These residues are phosphorylated upon B-cell receptor engagement, allowing CD22 to regulate B-cell receptor signaling. CD22 participates in positive regulation through interactions with Src family tyrosine kinases and acts as an inhibitory receptor by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatases via SH2 domains, which block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. CD22's role in both positive and negative regulation of B-cell signaling, along with its specific expression pattern, makes it a valuable marker for antibody customers interested in B-cell-related research and diagnostics.
