CD71 Antibody – Rat Monoclonal

Rat anti Mouse CD71 antibody, clone 8D3 recognizes mouse CD71, a 763 amino acid ~95 kDa single pass type II cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein, otherwise known as the transferrin receptor. CD71 is a major iron-binding protein, which plays a key role in the transport of iron into cells that require it. In mice, CD71 is widely expressed on a variety of cells, including Sertoli cells and cells which form the blood brain barrier (BBB) in the central nervous system.
Rat anti Mouse CD71 antibody, clone 8D3 recognizes native, soluble and denatured forms of murine CD71. Binding of the 8D3 antibody to CD71 does not inhibit the proliferation of cell lines tested, and does not interfere with the uptake of iron into cells.
Rat anti Mouse CD71 antibody, clone 8D3 has been used as a BBB transporter vector in mice and is suitable for studying CD71 expression, and iron uptake into different tissues, in the mouse (Kissel et al. 1988).

Small volumes of anti-CD71 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS225662 is an antibody targeting CD71. Also known as Rat Anti Mouse CD71: RPE. Reactive in Mouse. Host: Rat.
