Stemcell, 60006AD, Anti-Mouse CD19 Antibody, Clone 6D5

The 6D5 antibody reacts with CD19, an ~95 kDa type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of B cells throughout all stages of development, from early pre-B cells to plasma cells. Expression is down-regulated but persists in terminally differentiated plasma cells. CD19 is also found on follicular dendritic cells. By associating with CD21 and CD81, CD19 functions as a co-receptor for the B cell receptor and is involved in B cell activation and differentiation. Activation of CD19 is accompanied by phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain, which promotes binding to kinases and the induction of intracellular signaling cascades. Mutations in CD19 can result in severe immunodeficiency syndromes. Clone 6D5 recognizes the same epitope as clone ID3 in cross-competition assays.

This antibody clone has been verified for purity assessments of cells isolated with EasySep™ kits, including EasySep™ Mouse B Cell Isolation Kit (Catalog #19854).
