This antibody recognises the CD229 cell surface antigen, a 100-120 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is the homologue of Murine Ly-9.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Species reactivity (tested):Human.
Purification
Affinity Chromatography on Protein G
Immunogen
Mouse pre-B cell line 300.19 transfected with CD229 cDNA. Remarks: Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the mouse NS-1 myeloma cell line.
CD229 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and may have a function in cell signalling. The antigen is expressed at low levels by mature T and B lymphocytes and at higher levels by single-positive thymocytes. Expression at variable levels is also seen in some cell lines, such as Daudi, U937 and HUT78.Synonyms: Ly-9, Lymphocyte antigen 9, T-lymphocyte surface antigen Ly-9
