Additional info: CD129 serves as the high affinity alpha subunit of IL-9 receptor. It associates with CD132, the common gamma chain shared by receptors of many different cytokines. CD129 is expressed at low levels by T and B cells, blood cell progenitors, eosinophils, mast cells, epithelial cells, muscle cells and neurons. Its signaling (through JAK/STAT pathways) results in proliferative and anti-apoptotic response, which is critical e.g. for intrathymic T cell development and survival of various cell types. The gene for CD129 is located at the pseudoautosomal regions of X and Y chromosomes and it may be related with the development of asthma.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody W6B3C1 recognizes the extracellular glycosylated epitope 1 on human CD133 (CD133/1), a 120 kDa glycoprotein of prominin family, expressed e.g. on progenitor cells. This antibody is important for identification of stem cells and tumor cells.Application detailsFlow cytometry: It is recommended to use bright fluorochromes or signal multiplying detection.
