Quick Overview for CD3 epsilon antibody (Activation Site) (ABIN457415)

Target: CD3 epsilon (CD3E)

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD3 epsilon antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Western Blotting (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Clone: APA1-1

Product Details anti-CD3 epsilon Antibody

Binding Specificity: Activation Site

Purpose: Anti-CD3 epsilon (activation epitope) Purified

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody APA1/1 recognizes an activation-dependent intracellular epitope of CD3 epsilon. Exposure of the epitope precedes CD3 phosphorylation and recruitment and activation of ZAP70, which initiates the signaling cascade produced by T-cell activation. APA1/1 provides the earliest known marker for TCR-mediated T cell activation.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human, Mouse

Purification: Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.

Purity: > 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)

Immunogen: Purified human CD3 proteins isolated from thymus

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: Intracellular staining, recommended dilution: 1-4 μg/mL, positive control: human T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 (MEM-57) antibody (1 μg/mL). Sample preparation: At the end of stimulation of T cells, perform staining of surface markers (if required) in PBS + 0.1 % BSA for 20 min. on ice. Wash with PBS and fix with 2 % formaldehyde, 30 min on ice. Wash with PBS and incubate in PBS + 0,1 % saponine, 5 min. RT. Incubate the cells in PBS + 1 % BSA + 0.03 % saponine, 15 min. on ice. Incubate with fluorescence-labeled APA1/1 antibody (1-2 μg/mL) in PBS + 1 % BSA + 0.03 % saponine in dark, 20 min. RT. Wash with PBS + 1 % BSA + 0.03 % saponine, resuspend in PBS.
Immunocytochemistry: Fixed and permeabilised cells. The antibody can distinguish TCR-stimulated from non-stimulated cells.

Target Details for CD3 epsilon

Target: CD3 epsilon (CD3E)

Alternative Name: CD3 epsilon

Background: CD3 antigen, epsilon polypeptide,CD3 complex is crucial in transducing antigen-recognition signals into the cytoplasm of T cells and in regulating the cell surface expression of the TCR complex. T cell activation through the antigen receptor (TCR) involves the cytoplasmic tails of the CD3 subunits CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon and CD3 zeta. These CD3 subunits are structurally related members of the immunoglobulins super family encoded by closely linked genes on human chromosome 11. The CD3 components have long cytoplasmic tails that associate with cytoplasmic signal transduction molecules. This association is mediated at least in part by a double tyrosine-based motif present in a single copy in the CD3 subunits. CD3 may play a role in TCR-induced growth arrest, cell survival and proliferation.,CD3 epsilon chain, T3E, IMD18
