Product name: CD71 (Transferrin Receptor) Monoclonal Antibody (OKT9 (OKT-9)), eBioscience™
Antibody type: Monoclonal
Antigen: Other
Description: Description: The OKT9 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD71, a 170-180 kDa type II transmembrane protein. CD71, the transferrin receptor, exists as a homodimer on the cell surface and is essential for cellular growth. CD71 is expressed by immature proliferating cells and at low levels on resting mature lymphocytes. Antigen or mitogen stimulation of T and B cells upregulates the expression of CD71. Applications Reported: The OKT9 (OKT-9) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This OKT9 (OKT-9) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of unstimulated and CD3/CD28-stimulated (3 days) human blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
Reactivity: Human
Host: Mouse
Isotype: IgG
Antibody clone number: OKT9 (OKT-9)
Vial size: 100 µg
Concentration: 0.5 mg/mL
Storage: 4° C

Experimental details: Knockout of CD71 was achieved by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing using LentiArray™ Lentiviral sgRNA (Product # A32042, AssayID CRISPR942568_LV) and LentiArray Cas9 Lentivirus (Product # A32064). Immunofluorescence analysis was performed on wild type HeLa cells (panel a,d), HeLa Cas9 cells (panel b, e) and HeLa CD71 KO cells (panel c,f). Cells were fixed, permeabilized, and labelled with CD71 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SN73-08) (Product # 14-0719-82, 1:100 dilution), followed by Goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) Highly Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor Plus 488 (Product # A32723, 1:2,000). Nuclei (blue) were stained using ProLong™ Diamond Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # P36962), and Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300) was used for cytoskeletal F-actin (red) staining. Loss of signal (panel c,f) upon CRISPR mediated knockout (KO) confirms that antibody is specific to CD71 (green). The images were captured at 60X magnification.

Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with ProLong™ Diamond Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # P36962). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d represents the merged image showing membrane localization. Panel e shows untreated cells with no signal. Panel f represents control cells with no primary antibody to assess background.

Experimental details: Fig. 1 T cell activation stimulates uptake and recycling of transferrin and TfR. A Transferrin uptake stimulation upon T cell activation. Jurkat T cells were equilibrated at 37 degC in the presence of transferrin-Alexa647 and subsequently left untouched (resting), or 30 min treated with non-stimulating solution (0 min activated) or 30 min stimulated with activating antibodies anti-CD3epsilon + anti-CD28. Uptake was stopped on ice and cells were analysed for transferrin-Alexa647 uptake. Displayed is the fold-change of Alexa647 signal relative to untouched (resting) controls. B Transiently boosted TfR recycling upon T cell activation. Jurkat T cells were incubated with biotinylated anti-TfR for 90 min to label all TfR pools with antibodies. Then, surface-exposed anti-TfR-biotin was blocked with unlabelled streptavidin. To assess TfR recycling upon activation, cells were activated with soluble activating antibodies (anti-CD3epsilon + anti-CD28) or left untreated for the indicated times. Antibody-labelled TfR delivered to the surface was detected with Pacific Blue-labelled streptavidin.
