Validation Data Gallery

• 

  FC experiment of human PBMCs using FITC-65195

  1X10^6 human PBMCs were surface stained with 5 ul FITC Plus Anti-Human CD81 (FITC-65195, Clone: 5A6) (red) or Mouse IgG1 Isotype Control. Cells were not fixed. Lymphocytes were gated.

Background Information

CD81 (also known as TAPA1or TSPAN28) is a membrane protein of the tetraspanin superfamily, which are characterized by the presence of four conserved transmembrane regions. Many of these members are expressed on leukocytes and have been implicated in signal transduction, cell-cell interactions, and cellular activation and development. CD81 is involved in signal transduction and cell adhesion in the immune system (PMID: 9597125). CD81 has also been identified as en essential receptor for HCV (hepatitis C virus) (PMID: 21428934).
