Protocol Expression pattern Principle of method: HM47 recognizes the cytoplasmic domain of human CD79a, which is also The antibody reagent provided enables the identification of a specific target known as mb-1 and Ig α. Along with CD79b (Ig β), CD79a is associated with cell type by flow cytometry. This technique is based on fluorochrome- surface Ig (sIg) to form the antigen complex. CD79a is a 47 conjugated antibodies binding to specific antigens expressed by the target kDa glycoprotein and comprises a single extracellular immunoglobulin cells. Incubating a sample of interest, e.g., peripheral blood mononuclear cells domain, a transmembrane domain, and a signaling intracellular domain (PBMC), with the provided antibody reagent leads to fluorescent staining of with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). CD79a/CD79b the cell type expressing the specific target antigen. Analysis of the sample heterodimer facilitates differentiation of pre-B cells from pro-B cells, surface is performed in a flow cytometer at a single-cell level. The analysis is based expression of sIg, following antigen recognition and on the detection of characteristic light emission patterns emitted by the endocytosis of recognized antigens. Surface expression of CD79a diminishes fluorescently labeled antibody upon excitation with laser light. The collected in plasma cells, where it is mainly found as an intracellular molecule.
