PE/iFluor® 594 Anti-mouse CD19 Antibody *1D3*

1D3 is an anti-mouse monoclonal antibody that is specific for the CD19 antigen. CD19 (sometimes referred to as B4) is a 95 kD transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on the surface of cells like B cells and stem cells. CD19 plays a role in essential cellular pathways, namely, the antigen receptor-mediated signaling pathway and B cell receptor signaling pathway. In addition, in some organisms, it is an enhancer of release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol, is a promoter of protein kinase B signaling and is a positive regulator of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. From a research standpoint, it is of biological interest due to its association with vital macromolecules/ligands like CD225, CD81, PI3-kinase and fyn. CD19 is a very popular antibody target, with over 36000 publications in the last decade. CD19 has been widely used in costimulatory molecules and immunology research, commonly serving as a phenotypic marker for differentiating cell types in flow cytometric applications. This antibody was purified through affinity chromatography and conjugated to PE/iFluor® 594 (ex/em = 566/606 nm). It is compatible with the 561 nm laser and 610/30 nm bandpass filter (for example, as in the Luminex Amnis ImageStream).
