This antibody recognises CD221. The ligands for CD221 include IGF-I and IGF-II, which bind to CD221 and activate tyrosine kinase activity, resulting in phosphorylation of several intracellular signalling proteins. Clone 1H7 is reported to partically block binding of IGF-I and IGF-II to CD221. We recommend the use of BM2226LE for this purpose.
Purification
Affinity Chromatography on Protein G
Immunogen
Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the SP2/0 myeloma cell line.
Western Blot. Flow Cytometry: Use 10 μL of 1/10 diluted antibody to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections (1/10-1/40): Requires protein digestionpre-treatment. Recommended Positive Control: Pancreas, placenta. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

CD221 is a 155kD receptor tyrosine kinase, also known as Insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-I Receptor). CD221 is composed of two extracellular alpha-subunits and two transmembrane beta-subunits. CD221 is expressed in a range of tissues, including kidney, liver, placenta, mammary gland, brain, ovary and skin.Synonyms: IGF-I receptor, IGF1 Receptor, Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor
