Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific for human CD81, which is expressed on most tissues with the exception of red blood cells and platelets. |
Alternative Name | Tetraspanin-28; TAPA-1; Target of the Antiproliferative Antibody 1; Tspan-28 |
UniProt | P60033 |
Immunogen | This antibody was produced by immunizing mice with 5A6-aggregated OCI-LY8 B cells. |
Application Notes | This antibody is a strong inducer of homotypic adhesion in hematolymphoid cells (Levy, 1998). This antibody also has an anti-proliferative effect, and is able to induce growth inhibition of B cell lines. Triggering of CD81 by this antibody induces a significant upregulation of the constituitive release of TNF-α by JY cells, an Eptsein-Barr virus-positive B lymphoblastoid cell line (Altomonte, 1995). |
