The CD74 Monoclonal Antibody (LN2) is a specialized tool for researchers investigating the CD74 protein, a key regulator of antigen presentation and immune response modulation. This monoclonal antibody, known as AGEL0279, is specifically designed for human samples and has been rigorously validated for use in various applications, including immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.CD74 is a crucial component of the MHC class II complex, playing a pivotal role in the immune response by facilitating antigen presentation to T cells and modulating immune pathways. The LN2 monoclonal antibody binds specifically to the CD74 protein, allowing researchers to visualize and analyze its expression in different cell types and tissue samples.
This makes it an invaluable tool for studies in immunology, oncology, and infectious diseases.Understanding the function and expression of CD74 is essential for unraveling its involvement in diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious conditions. By utilizing the LN2 monoclonal antibody, researchers can delve deeper into the role of CD74 in these pathological processes, potentially leading to the development of targeted therapies and diagnostic tools.

Background:
CD74 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein also known as MHC class II associated invariant chain, invariant chain, Ii, MHC class II chaperone, and MIF receptor. CD74 exists in four isoforms with molecular masses of 33, 35, 41, and 43 kD, depending on genetic splicing. CD74 is primarily expressed on antigen presenting cells, including B cells, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and Langerhans cells. It is also expressed by activated T cells and activated endothelial and epithelial cells as well as carcinomas of lung, renal, gastric and thymic origin. The primary function of CD74 is intracellular sorting of MHC class II molecules and regulation of exogenous peptide loading onto MHC class II. It is also involved in the modulation of B cell differentiation and positive selection of CD4+ T cells. It has been reported that CD74 binds MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) and signals through CD44 to regulate innate and adaptive immunity. It is also reported that H. pylori infection occurs through urease B binding of CD74 on gastric epithelial cells, inducing gastric epithelial cell apoptosis, NF-κB activation, and IL-8 production.
