Quick Overview for Transferrin Receptor antibody (ABIN118244)

Target: Transferrin Receptor (TFRC) (Transferrin Receptor (p90, CD71) (TFRC))

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Transferrin Receptor antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Clone: YTA 74-4

Product Details anti-Transferrin Receptor Antibody

Specificity: This antibdoy reacts to the CD71 antigen, the transferrin receptor (TFR). Expressed on all dividing cells and can distinguish resting and activated T-cells. Immunoprecipitates a disulphide linked homodimer of 90 kDa by SDS PAGE. The antibody inhibits cell proliferation and the mixed lymphocyte response in vitro. Blocks the binding of R17 217.1.3. and R17 208.2 anti-TFR monoclonal antibodies

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: Mouse Concanavilin A activated spleen cells. Spleen cells from an immunised DA rat were fused with cells of the Y3/Ag1.2.3 rat myeloma cell line.

Isotype: IgG2a

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: 1/50 - 1/100, use 10 μL of the suggested working dilution to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL. Immunoprecipitation. Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for Transferrin Receptor

Target: Transferrin Receptor (TFRC) (Transferrin Receptor (p90, CD71) (TFRC))

Alternative Name: CD71 / TFRC

Background: The transferrin receptor has been structurally characterized as a sulfide bound dimer of identical glycoprotein subunits of 95 kDa. The transferrin receptor is not present on resting blood lymphocytes. On PBL, the receptor appears after activation. The expression of transferrin receptor is coordinately regulated with cell growth. Present on T and B cell lines. The soluble (or serum) transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a circulating truncated form of the membrane receptor protein, it is an 85 kDa glycoprotein forming in serum a 320 kDa complex with diferric transferrin. The most important clinical use of the sTfR determination is in the differential diagnosis between iron deficiency anaemia and the anaemia of chronic disease.Synonyms: TfR1, Transferrin receptor protein 1, p90
