Additional info: CD72 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed as a homodimer especially in B cells, but also in other antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. Through one of its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motives (ITIMs), CD72 interacts with tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, thereby suppressing B cell responsiveness. Binding of CD72 with its ligand CD100 (Sema4D) prevents BCR association and phosphorylation of CD72 and results in dissociation of SHP-1 from CD72, thus enables B cell activation.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody AD2 recognizes CD73, a 70 kDa GPI-anchored 5´-nucleotidase expressed predominantly on the surface of T and B cell subsets, follicular dendritic cells and endothelial cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1 μg/ml.
