The CD7-6B7 monoclonal antibody binds to human CD7, a 40-kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein in the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD7, also known as GP40, is found on T cells, NK cells, thymocytes, and pre-B cells¹. CD7 is called T cell leukemia antigen for its expression on acute lymphocytic leukemia and some acute myeloid leukemia². Studies show that cross-linking of CD7 significantly increases CD7-associated PI3-kinase activity, suggesting the antigen’s functional role in inducing calcium flux in T lymphocytes, and T and NK cell activation³. The antibody was conjugated to a fluorophore and purified by affinity chromatography.
