The APC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal anti-SIGLEC8 antibody (Clone 7C9) (ABIN2658389) specifically detects SIGLEC8 in FACS and ICFC.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with APC under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated APC and unconjugated antibody.
Siglec-8 is a lectin specific for 6'-sulfo-sLex and a member of the Ig-superfamily. It is expressed almost exclusively in eosinophils, however, basophils and mast cells can express it to a lower degree. Siglec-8 is a 54 kD transmembranal protein, the extracellular domain has one V-set Ig-like domain and two C2-set domains. The cytoplasmic domain has two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motifs (ITIM) that recruit SH2-family phosphatases after tyrosine phosphorylation. There are reports that siglec-8 inhibits the release of histamine and prostaglandin D2 mediated by the IgEFcR. This molelcule is also involved in the induction of apoptosis.
