Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. This preparation contains no preservatives, thus it should be handled under aseptic conditions. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

Eat2

The Eat2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD81, a 26-kDa nonglycosylated member of the transmembrane 4 integral membrane protein superfamily, expressed by many types of cells.  For example, CD81 participates with CD19 and CD21 in the signal  transduction complex associated with the B-cell receptor on human B lymphocytes and with the CD4 and CD8 co-receptors on human thymocytes and T lymphocytes.  In mouse fetal thymic organ culture, interactions of immature thymocytes with CD81 expressed by thymic stromal cells are required to induce development of T cells with αβ T-cell receptors.  Furthermore, CD81 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of rat mastcell degranulation.  Despite its important roles in the immune response and wide tissue distribution, CD81-deficient mice are born without obvious developmental abnormalities.  However, these mice have abnormal immune responses, and impaired fertility.  Eat2 mAb cross-reacts with the rat CD81 antigen.

NA/LE
NA/LE refers to the culture and purification methods and buffer used to produce purified antibodies with no azide and low endotoxin: Aqueous buffered solution containing no preservative, 0.2µm sterile filtered. Endotoxin level is ≤0.01 EU/µg (≤0.001 ng/µg) of protein as determined by the LAL assay.NA/LE are perfectly suited to be used in culture or in vivo (for nonhuman studies) for functional assays — blocking, neutralizing, activation or depletion — where the presence of azide may damage cells or exogenous endotoxin may signal or activate cells.
