The antibody LN2 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD74 (the MHC II-associated invariant chain, Ii), a type II transmembrane protein expressed in antigen-presenting cells, as well as e.g. on activated neoplastic cells in T cell lymphomas, in lymph node germinal center, mantle zone B cells, histiocytes, interdigitating reticulum cells, Langerhans cells, thymic dendritic cells and peripheral blood B lymphocytes.

Aufreinigung
Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Hintergrund
CD74 Molecule,CD74 (the MHC II-associated invariant chain, Ii) is a type II transmembrane protein expressed in antigen-presenting cells, that serves as MHC II chaperone which promotes MHC II trafficking from the ER to endocytic compartments, prevents peptide binding in the ER and contributes to peptide editing in the MHC II compartment, it is also an accessory signaling molecule implicated e.g. in malignant B cell proliferation. Stimulation of cell surface CD74 leads to NFkappaB activation, which enables entry of the stimulated cell into the S phase. CD74 binds pro-inflammatory cytokine MIF with high affinity and interacts with CD44. Binding of Vpu, an HIV1 protein, to CD74 modulates MHC II presentation.,p33, DHLAG, HLADG, Ia-gamma
