Protocol
Available protocols: Immunofluorescence (Frozen)
Specificity / Sensitivity
CD45 (D3F8Q) Mouse Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total CD45 protein. This antibody is predicted to react with both the CD45.1 and CD45.2 alleles.
Species Reactivity: Mouse
Source / Purification
This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from CD45 (D3F8Q) Rabbit mAb #70257 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a mouse-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies. The parent antibody, CD45 (D3F8Q) Rabbit mAb #70257, is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala1258 of mouse CD45 protein.
Background
The protein phosphatase (PTP) receptor CD45 is a type I transmembrane protein comprised of a pair of intracellular tyrosine phosphatase domains and a variable extracellular domain generated by alternative splicing (1). The catalytic activity of CD45 is a function of the first phosphatase domain (D1) while the second phosphatase domain (D2) may interact with and stabilize the first domain, or recruit/bind substrates (2,3). CD45 interacts directly with antigen receptor complex proteins or activates Src family kinases involved in the regulation of T- and B-cell antigen receptor signaling (1). Specifically, CD45 dephosphorylates Src-family kinases Lck and Fyn at their conserved negative regulatory carboxy-terminal tyrosine residues and upregulates kinase activity. Conversely, studies indicate that CD45 can also inhibit Lck and Fyn by dephosphorylating their positive regulatory autophosphorylation site. CD45 appears to be both a positive and a negative regulator that conducts signals depending on specific stimuli and cell type (1). Human leukocytes including lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, and neutrophils express CD45, while erythrocytes and platelets are negative for CD45 expression (4).
