Miltenyi, 130-118-553, CD103 Antibody, anti-mouse, FITC

Overview
Armenian hamster IgG Clone 2E7 reacts with mouse CD103, a 175 kDa large, type I transmembrane glycoprotein also known as αE integrin. CD103 associates non-covalently with integrin β7 thereby forming the heterodimeric integrin αEβ7. It mediates cell-cell contact and is involved in homing processes by binding to its ligand e-cadherin. CD103 is expressed on >90% of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), epithelial T cells, and regulatory T cells. Due to its differential expression on dendritic cells from peripheral tissues, it is useful in identifying dendritic cell subsets from intestinal lamina propria, lung, and dermis.
