CD81, also known as TAPA-1 (Target of Antiproliferative Antibody 1), is a member of the tetraspanin superfamily that plays essential roles in cell adhesion, motility, and signal transduction. This transmembrane protein serves as a critical co-receptor for hepatitis C virus entry and participates in B cell receptor signaling complexes, making it a valuable target for immunology, virology, and cancer research. CD81 expression patterns and interactions with partner proteins like CD19 and CD21 provide important insights into immune cell development and function.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6B9F4B5, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding research applications require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly, you can expect minimal lot-to-lot variation, ensuring reproducible results across extended studies and collaborative projects. The human IgG1 isotype format and affinity chromatography purification deliver a high-quality reagent suitable for quantitative analyses.
Validation for flow cytometry demonstrates clear performance on human samples, with testing on Jurkat cells showing distinct positive staining compared to isotype controls. The recommended dilution range of 1:50 to 1:200 for flow cytometry provides flexibility to optimize signal-to-noise ratios for your specific experimental conditions. Additional validation for ELISA expands the utility of this antibody across different experimental platforms.
The unconjugated format allows you to pair this antibody with your preferred secondary detection system, offering flexibility for multicolor panel design or signal amplification strategies. Whether investigating tetraspanin biology, studying viral entry mechanisms, or characterizing immune cell populations, this CD81 antibody provides a dependable tool for your research workflow.
