CD3 is a component of T cell surface receptor (TCR), it cantains 5 invariable chains: gamma- , delta-, epsilon-, and zeta/eta。Clevers et al. (1988) showed the TCR/CD3 complex consists of either a TCR alpha/beta or TCR gamma/delta heterodimer coexpressed at the cell surface with the invariant subunits,CD3 is responsible for the signal transduction of the TCR.1) Clevers,H.Annu.Rev.Immun.6:629-662,1988.
Immunogen
Ni-NTA purified recombinant human CD3 expressed in E. Coli strain BL21 (DE3).
CD3 monoclonal antibody can be stored at -20˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
