The use of primary antibodies (I Abs) as research tools is, in many ways, responsible One of the earliest use for antibodies, came in the for much of the progress seen in modern biological research. These antibodies, early part of the 20th Century when Karl specific of target antigens, are a first step to probe samples in various detections. Landsteiner developped a serological test for They can also be used to immobilize antigens on supports. Secondary antibodies (II different blood groups (ABO system for typing Abs) are used in a second step to detect and amplify I Abs signal by colour or light blood) identification. Today antibodies are used as versatile reagents for an extremely wide range emission as fluorescence or chemiluminescence. of assays, in techniques as varied as screening phage libraries, biosensors, affinity purifications, Interchim is proud to offer one of the largest choice of high quality primary antibodies and conventional immunoassays including (more than 20 000 items).

  • Tetraspanin CD53: an Overlooked Regulator of Immune Cell Function
    Medical Microbiology and Immunology (2020) 209:545–552 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00430-020-00677-z REVIEW Tetraspanin CD53: an overlooked regulator of immune cell function V. E. Dunlock1 Received: 31 March 2020 / Accepted: 2 May 2020 / Published online: 21 May 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Tetraspanins are membrane organizing proteins that play a role in organizing the cell surface through the formation of subcellular domains consisting of tetraspanins and their partner proteins. These complexes are referred to as tetraspanin enriched microdomains (TEMs) or the tetraspanin web. The formation of TEMs allows for the regulation of a variety of cellular processes such as adhesion, migration, signaling, and cell fusion. Tetraspanin CD53 is a member of the tetraspanin superfamily expressed exclusively within the immune compartment. Amongst others, B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells have all been found to express high levels of this protein on their sur- face. Almost three decades ago it was reported that patients who lacked CD53 sufered from an increased susceptibility to pathogens resulting in the clinical manifestation of recurrent viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. This clearly suggests a vital and non-redundant role for CD53 in immune function. Yet, despite this striking fnding, the specifc functional roles of CD53 within the immune system have remained elusive. This review aims to provide a concise overview of the published literature concerning CD53 and refect on the underappreciated role of this protein in immune cell regulation and function. Keywords Tetraspanins · Tetraspanin enriched microdomains · CD53 · Membrane organization · Immune cell signaling · Immune cell adhesion Introduction: tetraspanins in the immune surface or on intracellular membranes.

INTRODUCTION Orphan nuclear receptors such as germ cell In the mammalian ovary, follicles are the nuclear factor (GCNF), steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) and principal functional units which provide the support system liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), are emerging as necessary for production of female germ cells (mature important ovarian factors in regulating female oocytes) during postnatal life (1). The process of follicular reproduction. Within the ovary, GCNF (NR6A1) development after birth is termed folliculogenesis and the expression is restricted to the oocyte, while SF-1 (NR5A1) production of fertilizable eggs is referred to as oogenesis. is expressed only in the somatic cells, such as granulosa, During reproductive life, folliculogenesis and oogenesis are thecal and luteal cells, and interstitial cells. LRH-1 highly coordinated to ensure the production of fertilizable (NR5A2), an orphan receptor closely related to SF-1, is eggs. These processes require intercellular communication expressed only in the granulosa cells of the follicles and between many cell types such as oocytes, granulosa and luteal cells within the ovary. Recent studies using thecal cells within the ovary (2, 3).

The aim of the study was to detect, quantify, and evaluate the prognostic value of these tetraspanins in Merkel cell carcinoma and to study the regulation of CD9 mRNA expression in Merkel cell carcinoma cell lines in detail. Immunohistochemical staining of 28 Merkel cell carcinoma specimens from 25 patients showed a significant correlation of CD9 (P ¼ 0.03) and CD151 (P ¼ 0.043) expression to overall survival. CD9 and CD63 expression correlated significantly to patients’ disease-free interval (P ¼ 0.017 and P ¼ 0.058). Of primary Merkel cell carcinoma tumors, 42% were CD9 positive in contrast to only 21% of the subcutaneous in-transit metastases. Characterization of the 50 untranslated region (UTR) of the CD9 mRNA from two cultured Merkel cell carcinoma cell lines revealed the presence of two major RNA species differing only in the length of their 50 termini (183 versus 102 nucleotides).

  • Human Eosinophils and Their Activation by Allergens Via Danger
    Human eosinophils and their activation by allergens via danger signal receptors Elin Redvall ______________________ 2010 Department of Infectious diseases, Institute of Biomedicine, The Sahlgrenska Academy Cover illustration photo: Kerstin Andersson (Eosinophils) Abstract Human eosinophilic granulocytes are polymorphonuclear cells with a powerful arsenal of cytotoxic substances in their granules, which are mainly found in the gastrointestinal mucosa, and the respiratory and genitourinary tracts. Their physiological role is incompletely understood, although it is likely they protect the mucosal surfaces, perhaps by recognizing danger signals present on microorganisms or released from damaged tissue. We have earlier shown that eosinophils can recognize and become directly activated by aeroallergens such as house dust mite (HDM) and birch pollen. Eosinophils exposed to (HDM) release both of the cytotoxic granule proteins eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and major basic protein, whereas birch pollen extract only triggers EPO release. Here we further investigate which receptors on eosinophils are used to signal the presence of HDM and birch pollen. Recognition was found to be mediated by the formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) FPR1 and FPR2. We also characterized the expression of this family of receptors in human eosinophils and found that they express FPR1 and FPR2, but not FPR3, similar to neutrophilic granulocytes. We also discovered that signaling through FPR1 can desensitize the eotaxin-1 receptor CCR3 rendering the cells anergic with respect to chemotaxis in response to eotaxin-1, but not regarding respiratory burst. Hence, there is cross- talk between these two receptors regarding one important effector function of eosinophils. Eosinophilic reactivity in vitro to the aeroallergens HDM, birch pollen, timothy grass pollen and cat dander did not differ between individuals with allergy and healthy individuals.

  • Tetraspanin CD151 Plays a Key Role in Skin Squamous Cell Carcinoma
    Oncogene (2013) 32, 1772–1783 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/13 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Tetraspanin CD151 plays a key role in skin squamous cell carcinoma QLi1, XH Yang2,FXu1, C Sharma1, H-X Wang1, K Knoblich1, I Rabinovitz3, SR Granter4 and ME Hemler1 Here we provide the first evidence that tetraspanin CD151 can support de novo carcinogenesis. During two-stage mouse skin chemical carcinogenesis, CD151 reduces tumor lag time and increases incidence, multiplicity, size and progression to malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), while supporting both cell survival during tumor initiation and cell proliferation during the promotion phase. In human skin SCC, CD151 expression is selectively elevated compared with other skin cancer types. CD151 support of keratinocyte survival and proliferation may depend on activation of transcription factor STAT3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription), a regulator of cell proliferation and apoptosis. CD151 also supports protein kinase C (PKC)a–a6b4 integrin association and PKC-dependent b4 S1424 phosphorylation, while regulating a6b4 distribution. CD151–PKCa effects on integrin b4 phosphorylation and subcellular localization are consistent with epithelial disruption to a less polarized, more invasive state. CD151 ablation, while minimally affecting normal cell and normal mouse functions, markedly sensitized mouse skin and epidermoid cells to chemicals/drugs including 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (mutagen) and camptothecin (topoisomerase inhibitor), as well as to agents targeting epidermal growth factor receptor, PKC, Jak2/Tyk2 and STAT3. Hence, CD151 ‘co-targeting’ may be therapeutically beneficial. These findings not only support CD151 as a potential tumor target, but also should apply to other cancers utilizing CD151/laminin-binding integrin complexes.

Even these patients relapse and develop rituximab resistance. To increase potency and circumvent resistance, the anti-lymphoma effects of rituximab, an anti-CD20 MAb1, combined with chLym-12, an anti- HLA-DR MAb, were assessed in human lymphoma cell lines by examining growth inhibition and cell death, apoptosis induction, ADCC3 and CDC4. There were additive effects in all assays and synergism in cell lines, such as B35M, which displayed resistance to either MAb alone.

Simple Summary: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy represents a major advancement in cancer treatment. Recently, FDA approved CAR-T cells directed against the CD19 protein for treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. In spite of impressive clinical responses with CD19-CAR-T cells, some patients demonstrate disease relapse due to either antigen loss, cancer heterogeneity or other mechanisms. Novel CAR-T cells and targets are important for the field. This report describes Citation: Golubovskaya, V.; Zhou, novel CD37, humanized CD37 and bispecific humanized CD37-CD19-CAR-T cells targeting both H.; Li, F.; Valentine, M.; Sun, J.; CD37 and CD19.

  • CD20 (B9E9): Sc-9984
    SAN TA C RUZ BI OTEC HNOL OG Y, INC . CD20 (B9E9): sc-9984 BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS CD20 is a leukocyte surface antigen consisting of four transmembrane regions CD20 (B9E9) is recommended for detection of CD20 of human origin by and cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. The cytoplasmic domain of CD20 contains Western Blotting (starting dilution 1:200, dilution range 1:100-1:1000), multiple phosphorylation sites, leading to additional isoforms. CD20 is ex- immunoprecipitation [1-2 µg per 100-500 µg of total protein (1 ml of cell pressed primarily on B cells but has also been detected on both normal and lysate)] and flow cytometry (1 µg per 1 x 10 6 cells). neoplastic T cells. CD20 functions as a calcium-permeable cation channel, and Suitable for use as control antibody for CD20 siRNA (h): sc-29972, CD20 it is known to accelerate the G to G progression induced by IGF-1. CD20 is 0 1 shRNA Plasmid (h): sc-29972-SH and CD20 shRNA (h) Lentiviral Particles: activated by the IGF-1 receptor via the subunits of the heterotrimeric G α sc-29972-V. proteins. Activation of CD20 significantly increases DNA synthesis and is thought to involve basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors. Molecular Weight of CD20 isoforms: 33-37 kDa.
