CD37 Monoclonal / PE-Vio770 / REA366

Product Details

Description	Clone REA366 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 4 potential membrane-spanning regions, 2 extracellular loops, and 2 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 APCs, 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. \| Additional information: Clone REA366 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

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 PE-Vio770
PE-Vio® 770 from Miltenyi Biotec is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that combines pycoerythrin (PE) and Vio®770. The donor molecule, PE can be excited by the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, Vio®770, which emitts light that can be captured with a 780/60 nm bandpass filter. PE-Vio®770 has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 775 nm and is a common alternative to PE-Cy7 and PE-H7.
