CD37 Monoclonal / FITC / 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 FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
