Anti-PU.1 (SPI-1) (B-Cell Marker) (PU1/2146)

PU.1 is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors and is important for normal B-cell development. It is expressed in the myeloid lineage and in immature as well as mature B-lymphocytes, with the exception of plasma cells. PU.1 is expressed in germinal center B-cells and mantle B-cells. Various lymphomas are also positive for this marker. It is essential during early B-cell differentiation. The absence of PU.1 results in total block of B-cell development at the pre-pro stage. PU.1 plays a key role in normal myeloid differentiation, and regulates the expression of immunoglobulin and other genes that are important for B-cell development._x000D_ _x000D_ Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors._x000D_ _x000D_
