Purity:Purified by Protein G affinity chromatography.
Form:Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2, 0.09% sodium azide. Labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
Specificity:Recognizes mouse and rat CD81, a 26kD cell surface glycoprotein that is also known as TAPA-1.In rodents CD81 is expressed at much higher levels on resting B cells than on T cells, although increased expression on T cells is found following activation. 3H1702 induces homotypic aggregation of B cells and inhibits anti Ig and IL-4 induced proliferation. 3H1702 requires the presence of both extracellular loops of TAPA-1 for binding. Species Crossreactivity: Mouse, rat
