Anti-Porimin (Keratinocytes-associated Transmembrane Protein 3, KCT-3, Pro-oncosis Receptor Inducing

Porimin was identified by a monoclonal antibody developed by immunizing mice with apoptotic cells. One of these antibodies, designated anti-Porimin (for pro-oncosis receptor inducing membrane injury), was found to directly induce a unique type of cell death in Jurkat cells by binding to a 110kD cell surface receptor on Jurkat cells. Anti-Porimin-mediated cell death was preceded by cell aggregation, formation of plasma membrane pores, and the appearance of membrane blebs. More important, these cells show neither DNA fragmentation nor apoptotic bodies, but display lethal damage of the cell membrane. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot.
