Integrin alpha E Antibody / CD103

• Catalog Number: orb606591
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This antibody recognizes a protein of 150kDa, identified as CD103, which is the alpha-E integrin subunit of the heterodimeric alpha-E-beta-7 integrin belonging to a small beta-7 integrin subfamily. CD103 is expressed on more than 95% of intraepithelial CD8+ cells and on 40% of mucosa-associated T cells, whereas less than 2% of resting blood lymphocytes are CD103-positive. In several malignant conditions, such as T-cell lymphomas and hairy cell leukemia (HCL), the cells express CD103. This antibody is an extremely useful addition to the IHC panel for the diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia (HCL).

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19, 000 full-length human proteins using CD103 antibody (clone ITGAE/2063). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the ITGAE/2063 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
