Anti-CD123 (Interleukin-3 Receptor Subunit alpha, IL-3 Receptor Subunit alpha, IL-3R Subunit alpha,

CD123 is the 70kD transmembrane a chain of the IL-3 receptor. Alone, CD123 binds IL-3 with low affinity, when CD123 associates with CDw131 (common B chain), it binds IL-3 with high affinity. CD123 does not transduce intracellular signals upon binding IL-3 and requires the B chain for this function. CD123 is expressed by myeloid precursors, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, basophils, megakaryocytes, and some B cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Reported in literature to work in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Acetone-fixed, frozen, and paraffin-embedded sections) and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: <1ug/10e6 cells in 100ul volume or 100ul of whole blood., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
