Product Description
The 17A2 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD3, a transmembrane cell-surface protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD3 associates with TCR alpha/beta or gamma/delta chains to form the TCR complex. CD3 is expressed on T lymphocytes, NK-T cells, and to varying degrees on developing thymocytes. CD3 plays roles in TCR signaling, T lymphocyte activation, and antigen recognition. The 145-2C11 antibody has been shown to block the binding of the 17A2 antibody suggesting that the 17A2 antibody recognizes an epitope of the CD3epsilon chain. Treatment with the 17A2 antibody in vivo has been reported to partially deplete T lymphocytes and temporarily down-modulate CD3 expression on T cells.
