- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse
- Application: ELISA ; FACS ; IHC ; IP
- Strain: Balb/c
- Description: This monoclonal antibody recognises the gamma delta T cell receptor (gamma delta TCR). This antibody can be used to detect populations of gamma delta T cells. This antibody reacts with human gamma delta TCR in native as well as denatured states.

- Isotype: IgG1
- Research area: Cell signaling and signal transduction; Immunology
- Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14
- For Research Use Only
Target Details
- Target: TCR yd
- Target background: The T-cell receptor (TCR) is a molecule found on the surface of T cells, or T lymphocytes, that is responsible for recognising fragments of antigen as peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. The TCR is composed of two different protein chains. In humans, in 95% of T cells the TCR consists of an alpha chain and a beta chain, whereas in 5% of T cells the TCR consists of gamma and delta (y/d) chains. This ratio changes during ontogeny and in diseased states such as leukaemia, as well as autoimmune diseases like psoriasis.
