CloneID: BU40
Antigen Long Description: This antibody was raised against the HF B1 plasmacytoid cell line, which is considered to be late B-like.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Uniprot Accession No.: P21854
Specificity Statement: This antibody is specific for CD72, which is highly expressed by pre-B cells and B-cells, but not terminally differentiated plasma cells.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody has been used to investigate cell-surface expression of CD72 in FACS analysis (Kataoka et al, 2013). This antibody has been shown to induce resting B cells to enter the G1 phase of the cell cycle, stimulate B cell expression of major histocompatibility complex class II antigen and potentiate the capacity of IL-4 to induce CD23 production (Katira et al, 1992). It also stimulates TNF-α and IL-6 production in CD14+ monocytes (Yoshida et al, 2015). Ligation of CD72 by this antibody has been observed to suppress the proliferation of an acute myelogenous leukaemia cell line (Kataoka et al, 2013).
