Anti-CD23 (IgE Receptor gp45), clone 2Q1279

CD23 is a 45kD type II integral membrane glycoprotein that is the low affinity receptor for IgE. It also binds to CD21, and the alpha chains of CD11b and CD11c. It is expressed by B cells and monocytes and, weakly, on T cells, follicular dendritic cells, eosinophils, NK cells, Langerhans cells and platelets. It is upregulated in response to B cell activation, CD40 ligation, or in response to IL-4 or IL-13. CD23 is responsible for regulation of IgE synthesis and may play a role in antigen presentation by B cells and follicular dendritic cells by interacting with CD40.1-7, Applications:  Flow cytometry,  Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections),  Immunoprecipitation, Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: < 1ug/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 12 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.
