Overview
-
Antigen Distribution: gamma/delta TCR expression is observed on a subset of cells in the thymus, intestinal epithelium, skin, liver, peripheral lymphoid tissues, and peritoneum. The gamma/delta TCR is involved in the antigen recognition of some bacterial or tumor-associated antigens presented by MHC class I.
Isotype Control: Armenian Hamster IgG Isotype Control for In Vivo - Low Endotoxin [PIP] (ICH2251)
Endotoxin: ≤ 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method
Aggregation: Aggregation level ≤ 5%Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
Background
The T cell receptor or TCR is a molecule found on the surface of T lymphocytes that is responsible for recognizing antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. It is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha and beta chain in 95% of T cells, while 5% of T cells have TCRs consisting of gamma and delta chains. Engagement of the TCR with antigen and MHC results in activation of its T lymphocyte through a series of biochemical events mediated by associated enzymes, co-receptors and specialized accessory molecules.
