Additional info: CD103 / integrin alphaE is an integrin subunit that is expressed on intraepithelial lymphocytes, epithelial dendritic cells, lamina propria-derived dendritic cells, a subpopulation of lamina propria T cells, a small subset of peripheral lymphocytes, namely T reg cells, and on activated and TGF-beta stimulated lymphocytes. CD103 is in mature form cleaved into two disulfide-linked chains (C-terminal 150 kDa chain and N-terminal 25 kDa chain). It heterodimerizes with integrin beta7 subunit to form alphaE/beta7 integrin (mucosal lymphocyte 1 antigen), which through binding E-cadherin mediates homing of lymphocytes to the intestinal epithelium, and, in addition to the role in adhesion, may serve as an accessory molecule for intraepithelial lymphocyte activation.SpecificityThe antibody MEM-229 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD105 (Endoglin), a 90 kDa type I integral membrane homodimer glycoprotein expressed on vascular endothelial cells (small and large vessels), activated monocytes and tissue macrophages, stromal cells of certain tissues including bone marrow, pre-B lymphocytes in fetal marrow and erythroid precursors in fetal and adult bone marrow; it is also present on syncytiotrophoblast on placenta throughout pregnancy.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/ml.
