This antibody recognizes a ~90-95 kDa protein which is identified as cell surface transferrin receptor (CD71), a disulfide-bonded homodimeric glycoprotein of 180-190 kDa. This MAb is highly specific to CD71 and shows no cross-reaction with other related proteins. Ligand for transferrin receptor is the serum iron transport protein, transferrin. This receptor is broadly distributed in carcinomas, sarcomas, leukemias, and lymphomas. CD71/Transferrin receptor has been reported to be associated with cell proliferation in both normal and neoplastic tissues and useful in predicting clinical behavior or response to therapy in a number of malignancies including breast cancer.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF Dyes and other labels. CF Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF405S and CF405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody|Immunofluorescence: 1-2 ug/mL|ELISA: 2-4 ug/mL for coating order Ab without BSA|Flow cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1mL|Immunohistology (formalin) 1-2 ug/mL|Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA pH 9.0 for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min|Western blotting 0.5-1 ug/mL|Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
