CAT#: TA386525

Recombinant Anti-CD123 (Clone 7G3)

Product Images

Flow cytometry using the Anti-CD123 antibody 7G3 (Ab02242). Paraformaldehyde fixed U937 cells permeabilized with 0.5% Triton were stained with anti-unknown specificity antibody (Ab00178-23.0; isotype control, black line) or the rabbit IgG version of 7G3 (TA386525, blue line) at a dilution of 1:100 for 1h at RT. After washing, the bound antibody was detected using a goat anti-rabbit IgG AlexaFluor® 488 antibody at a dilution of 1:1000 and cells analyzed using a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.

Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: 7G3
• Applications: FC, IP, WB
• Reactivities: Human
• Modifications: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
• Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: IgG, kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: The original antibody was generated by intraperitoneally immunizing BALB/c mice with 5 X lo6 COS cells transfected with the IL-3R a-chain in combination with adjuvant peptides.
• Specificity: This antibody specifically binds to the IL-3R alpha-chain and completely abolishes its function. IL-3R is expressed on myeloid, lymphoid, and vascular endothelial cells, where it transduces IL-3-dependent signals leading to cell activation.
  
  This antagonist antibody binds IL-3Rα and blocks IL-3 binding and IL-3-mediated functions. mAb 7G3 immunoprecipitated and recognized in western blots the IL-3R α chain expressed by transfected cells and bound to primary cells expressing IL-3Rα. The expression of IL-3Rα chain on various cells types was analysed by flow cytometry using this antibody (PMID: 8547680). It is reported that 7G3 inhibits IL-3Rα and βc dimerization (PMID: 8649415). This antibody was used in the study of neutrophils expressing IL-3 receptors which are activated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or GM-CSF (PMID: 7579364). The original 7G3, mouse IgG2a antibody inhibited IL-3-mediated intracellular signaling of isolated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) CD34+ CD38− cells in vitro and reduced their survival (PMID: 19570512). Humanized version of this antibody CSL362 is available on request. CSL362, retains the ability to neutralise IL-3 and has enhanced affinity for the FcγRIIIa (CD16) on NK cells. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the increased affinity for CD16 correlates with greater antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against CD123 expressing cell lines (Busfield et al., 2012). CSL362 is being accessed for use in the treatment of myeloid leukemia (PMID: 24363400, 2524888, 26130514).
