Product Specific Information

Description: The monoclonal antibody 14.27 reacts with rat CD38, also known as ADP-ribosyl cyclase. CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is an ectoenzyme that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). cADPR and NAADP are secondary messengers involved in calcium mobilization. CD38 can also act as a receptor for CD31 or agonist monoclonal antibodies. CD38 is expressed by leukocytes, early hematopoietic precursor cells, epithelial cells, astrocytes, some muscle cells, kidney cells, and thyroid cells. CD38 plays a role in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, proliferation, cell activation, cell migration, cell adhesion, and protection from apoptosis.

Applications Reported: This 14.27 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This 14.27 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of rat splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

eFluor® 660 is a replacement for Alexa Fluor® 647. eFluor® 660 emits at 659 nm and is excited with the red laser (633 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome.

Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 668 nm; Laser: Red Laser.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Target Information

CD38 (NAD+ glycohydrolase) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein able to induce activation, proliferation and differentiation of mature lymphocytes and mediate apoptosis of myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cells. CD38 functions as a multi-catalytic ectoenzyme serving as ADP-ribosyl cyclase, cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase and possibly NAD+ glycohydrolase or as a cell surface receptor. Antibodies to CD38 are useful in subtyping of lymphomas and leukemias, detection of plasma cells (i.e. identification of myelomas), and as a marker for activated B and T cells. CD38 participates in cell adhesion, signal transduction and calcium signaling. Further, CD38 is expressed at high levels in the pancreas, liver, kidney, malignant lymphoma and neuroblastoma. Diseases associated with CD38 dysfunction include chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Richter`s Syndrome.
