Anti-CD32-B FCGR2B Antibody

Low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor II-b; IgG Fc receptor II-b; CDw32; Fc-gamma RII-b; Fc-gamma-RIIb; FcRII-b; CD32; FCGR2B; CD32, FCG2, IGFR2

Is the most broadly distributed Fc-gamma- receptor. Expressed in monocyte, neutrophils, macrophages, basophils, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, B-cells, platelets cells and placenta (endothelial cells) . Not detected in natural killer cells.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Receptor for the Fc region of complexed or aggregated immunoglobulins gamma. Low affinity receptor. Involved in a variety of effector and regulatory functions such as phagocytosis of immune complexes and modulation of antibody production by B- cells. Binding to this receptor results in down-modulation of previous state of cell activation triggered via antigen receptors on B-cells (BCR), T-cells (TCR) or via another Fc receptor. Isoform IIB1 fails to mediate endocytosis or phagocytosis. Isoform IIB2 does not trigger phagocytosis.
