DescriptionThe 90 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD38 molecule, an ~42 kDa type II transmembrane protein. CD38 is expressed at increasingly higher levels on B cells at each stage of B-cell differentiation, and is then down-regulated on germinal center B cells and mature plasma cells. Its expression is reported on a subpopulation of thymocytes, mature T cells, and NK cells. Crosslinking of CD38 on the surface of mature, resting B cells induces B-cell proliferation, which is enhanced by co-signals such as IL-4 and LPS. CD38, a counter-receptor for CD31, is an ectoenzyme with cyclase and hydrolase enzymatic activity and is speculated to play a role in lymphocyte activation and differentiation. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The 90 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications TestedThe 90 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.06 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
