Description
The eBioSN4 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD9. CD9 is a 24 kDa member of the tetraspanin family, whose members are characterized by the presence of 4 hydrophobic transmembrane domains. CD9 is expressed in platelets, eosinophils, basophils, pre-B cells, activated T cells and neural cell lines. Furthermore, CD9 expression has been associated with a malignant phenotype, including expression on 90% of non T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells and on 50% of chronic lymphocytic and acute myeloblastic leukemias. In platelets, CD9 is expressed in α-granules and through association with the integrin αIIb/βIII plays a role in platelet aggregation, as demonstrated by the use of anti-human CD9 antibodies. CD9 has also been shown to induce the aggregation of pre-B cell lines, and the adhesion and migration of pre-B cells and Schwann cells. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that CD9 is able to provide a co-stimulatory signal for T cells independently of CD28, in the absence of antigen-presenting cells. Binding of the eBioSN4 monoclonal antibody partially cross-blocks binding of another anti-human CD9 monoclonal antibody, MM2/57.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioSN4 (SN4 C3-3A2) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested
This eBioSN4 (SN4 C3-3A2) antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human platelets. This can be used at 20 μl (0.06 μg) per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume).
