Anti-CD22, Phycoerythrin conjugated, clone 2Q1605

CD22, also known as Lyb-8, is a heterodimeric transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of a structurally related group of immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily domain-containing proteins called the sialoadhesin family. It is detected in the cytoplasm early in B cell development (late pro-B cell stage), appears on the cell surface concomitant with IgD, and is found on most IgM+IgD+ mature B lymphocytes. Expression is lost with terminal differentiation of B cells and is absent on plasma cells. Activation of B cells via cross-linking of surface Ig increases CD22 expression. CD22 associates with the B cell receptor (BCR) complex and mediates intercellular adhesion. Its intracellular domain is phosphorylated after antigen receptor crosslinking and is involved in negative regulation of B-cell activation. Applications:  Flow cytometry 2,  Blocking of B cell homotypic adhesion 2, Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: < 0.2ug/10e6 cells, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20°C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
