CD37 / APC / REAL335

Product Details

Description	Clone REAL335 is an antibody fragment derived from the full CD37 antibody molecule. It displays no binding to Fc receptors. The recombinantly engineered antibody fragments are multimerized to form the REAlease Complex to bind markers with high avidity. \| Clone REAL335 recognizes the human CD37 antigen, a multi-pass membrane protein which is also known as tetraspanin-26 (Tspan-26). CD37 is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily of tetraspanin proteins, which consist of four potential membrane-spanning regions, two extracellular loops, and two short intracytoplasmic tails. Although most tetraspanins are ubiquitous proteins, CD37 expression is nearly exclusively limited to mature B cells and B cell–derived lymphoid malignancies. B cell early progenitors, T cells, natural killer cells, and myeloid cells exhibit only minimal amounts of membrane-associated CD37. In innate immunity, CD37 interacts with pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1, stabilizing Dectin-1 at the macrophage cell surface, and negatively regulating proinflammatory cytokine secretion following ligand recognition. Adaptive humoral immune responses are also perturbed by CD37 ablation. In cellular immunity, CD37 negatively regulates T cell proliferation. In antigen-presenting cells, CD37 associates with MHC class II at the cell surface and has been shown to negatively regulate antigen presentation. CD37 has recently attracted interest as a target for monoclonal antibodies with therapeutic potential in B cell malignancies. \| The REAlease Kits consist of the respective fluorochrome-conjugated REAlease Complexes and the REAlease Support Kit for removal of the REAlease Complexes and optional relabeling with different fluorochrome-conjugated REAlease Complexes.

About CD37
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins and other transmembrane 4 superfamily proteins. It may play a role in T-cell-B-cell interactions. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About APC
Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
