CD22 Antibody - N-terminal region: FITC (ARP59863_P050-FITC)

CD22 mediates B-cell B-cell interactions. CD22 may be involved in the localization of B-cells in lymphoid tissues. CD22 binds sialylated glycoproteins; one of which is CD45. CD22 preferentially binds to alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site can be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface. Upon ligand induced tyrosine phosphorylation in the immune response CD22 seems to be involved in regulation of B-cell antigen receptor signaling. CD22 plays a role in positive regulation through interaction with Src family tyrosine kinases and may also act as an inhibitory receptor by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatases via their SH2 domains that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
