Purified Anti-human CD19 Antibody *HI19a*

HI19a is an anti-human monoclonal antibody that targets the CD19 antigen. CD19 (also known as T-cell surface antigen Leu-12 or B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4) is a 95 kD transmembrane glycoprotein that is found on the surface of cells like B cells and stem cells. CD19 plays a role in critical cellular pathways, in particular, the antigen receptor-mediated signaling pathway and B cell receptor signaling pathway. Furthermore, in certain organisms, it plays a role in the upregulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, positively regulates release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol and plays a role in the upregulation of protein kinase B signaling. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with vital macromolecules/ligands such as CD81 and Leu-13. CD19 is a very popular antibody target, with over 36000 publications in the last decade. CD19 is frequently used in flow cytometry applications as a phenotypic marker for differentiation of cell types, specifically in the study of immunology and costimulatory molecules. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography.
