Anti-Human CD23 PE

Description: The EBVCS2 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD23, a 45 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein. CD23 is expressed on mature B cells, mantle zone B cells, follicular dendritic cells and at low levels on T, NK, langerhans cells and platelets. Expression of CD23 is upregulated upon B cell activation, and soluble forms of the antigen have been reported to be biologically active. CD23 is a low affinity receptor for IgE and is thought to play a role in the regulation of IgE response and B cell activation. CD21 and the α subunit of CD11b and CD11c bind to CD23.
