Complement Component 3a receptor (C3a R) is an ~90kD G protein-coupled 7 transmembrane sulfated glycoprotein expressed on myeloid peripheral blood leukocytes, and on activated lymphocytes, endothelial and internal organ epithelial cells. Engagement of C3a R by C3a activates mast cells and neutrophils, triggering degranulation in airways during asthmatic allergen challenges. It assists in Th2-type inflammatory reactions and stimulates leukocyte chemotaxis.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Hybridoma:
Myeloma with B cells from Balb/c mice.
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. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Freezing Allophycocyanin conjugates will result in a substantial loss of enzymatic activity.
