Description

Mouse CD79b (Igβ chain) is a 35-40kD transmembrane protein that forms a heterodimer with CD79a (30-35 kD, Ig α chain). The CD79b and CD79a hererodimers are associated with surface IgM to form the B-cell receptor (BCR) that is necessary for signal transduction via the BCR in mature B cells. CD79b participates in the signal transduction involved in development of B cells as well. It was reported that association between CD79b/CD79a with IgM is essential in inducing both the transition from progenitor to precursor B cells and subsequent allelic exclusion. Igβ knockout mice had a complete block in B cell development at the immature CD43+B220+ stage. The HM79b-12 clone reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD79b or Igβ.

Formulation

Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.5 microg per million cells in 100 microL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
