Anti-CD3 ζ chain antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-CD3ζ chain (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the hybridoma ZT-10 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 79-87 of mouse CD3 ζ chain conjugated to KLH. CD3ζ, a 16-kDa transmembrane protein, consists of a short extracellular domain and a long intracellular domain including immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). It is a subunit of T cell receptor chains (TCR), which is expressed by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells.

The CD3ζ (CD247) gene is mapped to human chromosome 1q24.2.

Monoclonal Anti-CD3 ζ chain antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry.

CD3ζ regulates immunity, neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. It is vital for T cell receptor chains (TCR) complex assembly and expression. Downregulation of TCR ζ-chain expression and impairment of T-cell function linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and infectious diseases. Altered expression and function of CD3ζ in T cells is associated with hematological diseases.

Monoclonal Anti-CD3ζ chain recognizes human and mouse CD3ζ chain.

Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative

For extended storage, freeze at −20 °C in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
