Additional info: CD19 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of Ig superfamily expressed by B cells from the time of heavy chain rearrangement until plasma cell differentiation. It forms a tetrameric complex with CD21 (complement receptor type 2), CD81 (TAPA-1) and Leu13. Together with BCR (B cell antigen receptor), this complex signals to decrease B cell treshold for activation by the antigen. Besides being signal-amplifying coreceptor for BCR, CD19 can also signal independently of BCR coligation and it turns out to be a central regulatory component upon which multiple signaling pathways converge. Mutation of the CD19 gene results in hypogammaglobulinemia, whereas CD19 overexpression causes B cell hyperactivity.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody 5E8 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD193 (chemokine receptor 3), an approximately 41 kDa protein expressed above all in eosinophils and basophils.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 5 μg/ml.
