Antibody Details
Formulation
This purified antibody is formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide as a preservative.
Storage and Handling
This antibody is stable when stored at 2-8°C. For long-term storage, freeze in aliquots below -20°C in a manual defrost freezer, avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Description
Specificity
The anti-mouse γ/δ T-cell receptor antibody reacts with all mouse TCR γ/δ heterodimers.
Antigen Distribution
γδ TCR expression is observed on a subset of cells in the thymus, intestinal epithelium, skin, liver, peripheral lymphoid tissues, and peritoneum. The γδ TCR is involved in the antigen recognition of some bacterial or tumor-associated antigens presented by MHC class I.
Background
The T cell receptor or TCR is a molecule found on the surface of T lymphocytes (or T cells) that is responsible for recognizing antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. It is a heterodimer consisting of an α and β chain in 95% of T cells, while 5% of T cells have TCRs consisting of γ and δ chains. Engagement of the TCR with antigen and MHC results in activation of its T lymphocyte through a series of biochemical events mediated by associated enzymes, co-receptors and specialized accessory molecules.
