Specific Information

Description: This WT31 monoclonal antibody recognizes the human alpha beta T cell receptor (TCR) complexed with the CD3 epsilon chain. Composed of a 44-kDa alpha and a 37-kDa beta chain, TCR specificity is typically determined by V alpha, J alpha, V beta, D beta, and J beta gene rearrangement. The TCR is often associated with the CD3 complex, which is composed of at least five polypeptides. The TCR/CD3 complex recognizes and binds to major histocompatibility complex-bound antigen presented by antigen presenting cells such as B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. These events lead to T cell activation, resulting in cellular signaling and cytokine production.

The WT31 monoclonal antibody has been reported to induce proliferation of resting T cells, as well as inhibit cytotoxic T cell activity. In addition, some antibodies against CD3 partially inhibit alpha beta TCR antibody staining using WT31; clone SK7 (anti-human CD3) is recommended for use in two-color experiments.

Applications Reported: This WT31 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This WT31 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.25 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.
