Bulk anti-Human CD7 antibody (T3-3A1)

Target: CD7.

Clone: T3-3A1.

Specificity: Clone T3-3A1 recognizes an epitope on human CD7.

Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Antigen Distribution: CD7 is expressed on T cells, NK cells, thymocytes, hematopoietic progenitors, some normal B cells, malignant B cells, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) cells, and some acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. It is weakly expressed on monocytes.

Background: CD7 is a 40 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein and is a member of the Ig superfamily. It plays a vital role in T-cell interactions, in adition to, T-cell/B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development, and has been shown to interact with PIK3R1. Functional studies indicate that crosslinking of the CD7 can stimulate transmembrane calcium flux in T cells. Lack of CD7 expression can help to diagnose T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, such as mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

Concentration: 1.0 – 5.0 mg/ml.
