Clone: 33-2A3.
Conjugate: CF-Blue™.
Immunogen: Human leucocytes.
Storage Buffer: The reagent is provided in aqueous buffered solution containing protein stabilizer, and ≤0.09% sodium azide (NaN3).
Description: This antibody reacts with the CD3- antigen (T3-antigen), which is expressed on human T lymphocytes. The monoclonal antibody reacts with 80-90% human peripheral T lymphocytes and medullary thymocytes. The monoclonal antibody does not react with B-cells, monocytes, granulocytes and platelets. The monoclonal antibody is mitogenic for resting T lymphocytes and it blocks the cytolytic activity of CTL clones.
This antibody recognizes 22/26/30 kD MW lymphocyte surface molecules associated with the T cell antigen receptor complex. Reacts with 85% of peripheral blood T lymphocytes, 70% of thymocytes, the majority of T cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemias, Sezary leukaemias and approximately 70% of acute lymphoblastic leukaemias of T cell origin.
