Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-CD21 [BU79]
  • Alternate names: Complement receptor type 2; CR2; complement C3d receptor, C3DR, Epstein-Barr virus receptor
  • Clone: BU80
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IHC
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: Cluster of differentiation 21 (CD21) is a protein encoded by the CR2 gene in humans. It is involved in the complement system and binds to iC3b (an inactive derivative of C3b). B cells are known to have CR2 receptors on their surfaces allowing the complement system to act in B-cell maturation and activation. Genetic variations are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 9 (SLEB9) which is a chronic autoimmune disease with an inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes.
  • Immunogen: Daudi cell line (B lymphoblast)
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Immunology

  • For Research Use Only
