Description
Description: The 6OMP31 monoclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, and rat CD19. CD19 is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD19 was first identified as the B4 antigen of human B lymphocytes using the anti-B4 monoclonal. It is expressed by B cells during all stages of development, except on terminally differentiated plasma cells, and on follicular dendritic cells. CD19 acts primarily as a B cell co-receptor and together with CD21, CD81, Leu13, and MHC class II forms a multi-molecular complex that associates with the BCR. CD19 plays a role in the development, activation, differentiation, and proliferation of B cells. CD19 deficiency leads to an overall impaired humoral immune response. Mutations in CD19 have been associated with severe immunodeficiency syndromes. Although it is unclear whether CD19 contributes directly to B cell carcinogenesis, it is expressed on most B cell tumors, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemias and B cell lymphomas. The use of CD19 monoclonal antibodies for therapies against lymphoma, leukemia and autoimmune disorders are currently being explored.
