iFluor® 488 Anti-human CD3 Antibody *SK7*

The SK7 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD3e, a 20 kD member of the Ig superfamily often found on the surface of t cells, tregs and nkt cells. In many organisms, CD3 positively regulates interleukin-2 biosynthetic process, enhances cell-matrix adhesion and is a positive regulator of gene expression. Moreover, it plays a role in essential cellular pathways, for example, the T cell receptor signaling pathway, negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway and apoptotic signaling pathway. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with vital macromolecules/ligands like TCR. CD3 is a very popular antibody target, with over 80000 publications in the last decade. CD3e is frequently used in flow cytometry applications as a phenotypic marker for differentiation of cell types, particularly in the study of immunology. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography and conjugated to iFluor® 488 (ex/em = 491/516 nm). It is compatible with the 488 nm laser and 525/50 nm bandpass filter (for example, as in the Miltenyi Biotec MACSQuant Analyzer 10).
