The Mouse CD103 Monoclonal Antibody PE-conjugated (M290) is a powerful tool for researchers studying immune responses and cell interactions. This antibody, specifically designed for use in flow cytometry applications, targets the CD103 protein found on the surface of certain immune cells.CD103, also known as integrin alpha E, is involved in cell adhesion and migration in mucosal tissues. Its expression is associated with tissue-resident memory T cells, which play a crucial role in immune surveillance and response at barrier surfaces such as the skin and intestines. By targeting CD103 with this antibody, researchers can investigate the presence and function of these specialized immune cells in different biological contexts.
The PE conjugation of this antibody allows for direct and sensitive detection of CD103-expressing cells by flow cytometry, enabling researchers to analyze immune cell populations with high specificity and precision. With its reliability and specificity, the Mouse CD103 Monoclonal Antibody PE-conjugated (M290) is a valuable tool for exploring the role of CD103 in immunity, inflammation, and host defense mechanisms.

Background:
CD103 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein known as αE integrin or Integrin αIEL chain. It belongs to the integrin family and is primarily found on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). CD103 is also expressed on a subpopulation of lamina propria T cells, epithelial dendritic cells, lamina propria-derived dendritic cells, and a small subset of peripheral lymphocytes. T regulatory cells express high level of CD103. The CD103 expression on lymphocytes can be induced upon activation and TGF-β stimulation. In association with integrin β7, CD103 is expressed as αE/β7 heterodimer. Mature CD103 protein can be cleaved into 2 chains, a 150 kD (C-terminal) chain and a 25 kD (N-terminal) chain, which remain linked by disulfide bonds. CD103 binds to E-cadherin and mediates homing of lymphocytes to the intestinal epithelium.
