  • Institute Absolute Antibody; University of Oxford

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-CD79a [HM47] rAb
  • Alternate names: B-cell antigen receptor complex-associated protein alpha chain; Ig-alpha; MB-1 membrane glycoprotein; Membrane-bound immunoglobulin-associated protein; Surface IgM-associated protein
  • Clone: HM47
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Recombinant
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Bovine ; Chicken ; Horse ; Human ; Guinea Pig ; Mouse ; Opossum ; Pig ; Primate ; Rat ; Rabbit
  • Host: Mouse
  • Cancer type: Blood cancer
  • Description: The B cell Antigen receptor constitutes a disulphide linked heterodimer, consisting of CD79a / mb1 and CD79b / B29 polypeptides, non covalently associated with membrane bound immunoglobulins on B cells. CD79a first appears at pre B cell stage and persists until the plasma cell stage where it is found as an intracellular component. CD79a is found in B cell lymphomas, in B cell lines, the majority of acute leukemias of precursor B cell type and in some myelomas. The CD79a/b heterodimer interacts with at least one tyrosine kinase (Lyn). Induction of tyrosine kinase activity after antigen binding causes phosphorylation of the CD79a/b dimer, and also of other molecules, thereby initiating intracellular signaling. CD79a is widely used as an adjunct to CD20 for detecting normal and neoplastic B cells in tissues sections.
  • Immunogen: Synthetic peptide of 14 amino acids representing amino acids 202-216 of the human mb-1 cDNA sequence
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Cell biology; Cancer; Cell signaling and signal transduction; Immunology; Stem cell biology

  • For Research Use Only
