CD25 is a 55KD transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of a heavily glycosylated extracellular domain, a transmembrane region and a short cytoplasmic tail. It is expressed during early stages of thymocytes development and in activated CD4+ memory T-lymphocytes. CD25 heterodimerizes with IL2R-beta and IL-2R gamma and forms the tripartite high affinity IL-2 receptor complex. It increases the specificity and affinity of IL-2 receptor complex for IL-2 ligand and is necessary for receptor clustering required for augmentation of IL-2 signaling. Mutations in CD25 result in severe immunodeficiency.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 0.05-0.1ug/1x10e6 cells
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4 degrees C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for at least 12 months at 4 degrees C. Freezing R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. PE conjugates are sensitive to light.
