Application Notes

This antibody has been used to investigate cell-surface expression of CD72 in FACS analysis (Kataoka et al, 2013). This antibody has been shown to induce resting B cells to enter the G1 phase of the cell cycle, stimulate B cell expression of major histocompatibility complex class II antigen and potentiate the capacity of IL-4 to induce CD23 production (Katira et al, 1992). It also stimulates TNF-α and IL-6 production in CD14+ monocytes (Yoshida et al, 2015). Ligation of CD72 by this antibody has been observed to suppress the proliferation of an acute myelogenous leukaemia cell line (Kataoka et al, 2013).
