Application Note
This antibody is not suitable for use on paraffin sections.
Calculated MW
Product Note
Detects the non-glycosylated epsilon chain of CD3 (MW 20kD) which is closely associated on the lymphocyte cell surface with the T cell antigen receptor (TCR).The antibody reacts with T cells in the thymus, bone marrow, and peripheral blood and is able to induce proliferation of mature thymocytes and T cells with, and without the presence of IL-2.The majority of T cell neoplasms are positive with this antibody.

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is the CD3-epsilon polypeptide, which together with CD3-gamma, -delta and -zeta, and the T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, forms the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex. This complex plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. The genes encoding the epsilon, gamma and delta polypeptides are located in the same cluster on chromosome 11. The epsilon polypeptide plays an essential role in T-cell development. Defects in this gene cause immunodeficiency. This gene has also been linked to a susceptibility to type I diabetes in women. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
