Mouse CD3 epsilon, Mr 25 kDa<br>CD3 epsilon, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface receptors, is comprised of five invariable chains ranging in size from 16-28 kDa and is closely associated with the T cell antigen receptor (TCR). CD3 epsilon is expressed on all T cells of all mouse strains. CD3 plays a major role in signaling during antigen recognition, leading to T-cell activation. 500-A2 recognizes an epitope on the 25kD epsilon chain of the CD3/TCR complex of mouse strains tested.^1, 2, 3
