Rat Anti-CD19 (B Lymphocyte Antigen CD19, B4, Differentiation Antigen CD19, Leu 12, Leu-12, MGC12802) (PE/Cy5.5)

CD19 is a monomeric transmembrane glycoprotein expressed at relatively constant levels throughout B cell development from early pro-B/pre-B cells (i.e. B220+/CD43+/HSA+) through fully differentiated B cell stages.1-7 Terminally differentiated plasma cells do not express CD19.1 In humans, the CD19 molecule on the surface of mature B cells associates with CD21 (CR-2) and CD81 (TAPA-1), and this multimolecular complex synergizes with surface immunoglobulin to provide signal transduction and promote cellular activation.3, 4 All splenic and peritoneal IgM+ cells of both B-1 and B-2 lineages are CD19+, with B-1 cells expressing higher levels of CD19 than B-2 cells in these sites.1, 7 Recent studies with CD19-deficient mice have suggested that this molecule may not be required for normal generation and maturation of B cells in the bone marrow.7 Monoclonal antibody 3H1069 recognizes the same epitope as the published clone, 1D3 (1).

Applications
• Flow cytometry 1-3 • Immunoprecipitation 1 • In vivo and in vitro functional studies 1, 2
Recommended Dilution
Flow Cytometry: ≤ 0.2ug/10e6 cells Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20°C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
Mouse CD19-expressing K562 human erythroleukemia cells
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.09% sodium azide and a stabilizing agent. Labeled with PE/Cy5.5.
Purity
Purified
Specificity
Recognizes CD19 B-cell differentiation antigen, Mr 95kD.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
