CD93
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA
Host: Mouse
Monoclonal
1A4
unconjugated
Application Notes
This NA/LE format is useful for in vitro functional studies. This antibody has been tested for LAL assay for low endotoxin level and by immunofluorescent staining in flow cytometric analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Immunofluorescent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The staining technique and controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe. A suitable mouse IgG2b isotype control for assessing the level of background staining on human cells is recommended: use at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest (e.g., ≤ 0.125 µg mAb/1 million cells).

The immunogen used to raise R139 antibody was C1q-binding protein preparation derived from U937 cell lysates, as described. Human CDw93 (C1qRp) is a 631 AA, single chain type I membrane glycoprotein expressed on cells of myeloid origin, endothelial cells, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. Human, murine and rat protein sequences have been deduced from cDNA clones and are known to be similar in sequence and organization. CDw93 (C1qRp) binds C1q, the recognition subunit of the first component (C1) of the complement pathway, as well as MBL (Mannose-binding-lectin) and SPA (Pulmonary Surfactant Protein A). Multivalent interaction of CDw93 (C1qRp) expressing cells with C1q, MBL, and SPA, induces enhancement of phagocytosis of suboptimally opsonized particles and/or cellular debris. Antibody R139 neutralizes/blocks C1q-mediated enhancement of phagocytosis, as reported. In addition clone R139 is suitable to detect CDw93 (C1qRp) expression on cells by flow cytometry, CDw93 (C1qRp) in cellular lysates by Western blotting or immunoprecipitation. CDw93 (C1qRp) has been reported to define a human stem cell population with hematopoietic and hepatic potential. Synonyms: C1qRp
