    Characteristics
    The HM14-1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the FAIM3-encoded high affinity receptor for IgM (also known as, Fcμ Receptor, FcμR, Fc mu receptor, Immunoglobulin mu Fc receptor, FcmR, IgM Fc receptor). The FcμR is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that contains an extracellular Ig-like domain with sequence similarities to Fcα/μR and pIgR. It is likewise known as Fas apoptotic inhibitory molecule 3, TOSO or Regulator of Fas-induced apoptosis Toso based on its capacity to counter apoptosis mediated by Fas/CD95 (or TNF) in some experimental model systems. FcμRs are expressed by B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and NK cells and are highly expressed on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia cells. FcμRs may play roles in cellular activation, antigen presentation and IgM-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The relatively long cytoplasmic tail of FcμR contains several conserved tyrosine and serine residues. These get phosphorylated after FcμR ligation with IgM immune complexes and may initiate signaling responses. Lymphocyte FcμRs can mediate the internalization of IgM-bound antigens including microbial and viral antigens. This in turn may cause cellular activation due to subsequent antigen processing and exposure of activating ligands to intracellular receptors including Toll-like receptors. The HM7-10 antibody, a related FcμR-specific antibody, reportedly recognizes an epitope near the IgM ligand binding site of the FcμR whereas the HM14-1 antibody does not. Two-color flow cytometric analysis of Fcμ Receptor expression on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. PBMC were stained with Biotin Mouse Anti-Human Fcμ Receptor (Cat. No. 563018), PerCP-Cy™5.5 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (560835), and APC-Cy™7 Mouse Anti-Human CD11b (557754/560914) antibodies followed by PE Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554061). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns of CD3 (Left Panel) or CD11b (Right Panel) versus Fcμ Receptor for gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable leucocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.
