FCGR2A, commonly known as CD32, serves as a critical low-affinity receptor for the Fc region of immunoglobulin G antibodies. This receptor plays a central role in immune regulation by mediating antibody-dependent cellular responses, including phagocytosis and the clearance of immune complexes. Its expression on monocytes, macrophages, and other immune cell populations makes it an essential target for researchers investigating Fc receptor biology, autoimmune mechanisms, and therapeutic antibody function.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 3B6, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding immunology research requires. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly in rabbit host cells, you can expect reliable performance across experiments and between lots, eliminating the variability often encountered with traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies. The affinity-chromatography purification ensures high purity for sensitive downstream applications.
Validation in western blot applications demonstrates robust detection of FCGR2A in THP-1 whole cell lysate, a monocytic cell line commonly used in immunological studies. The observed band at approximately 45 kDa runs higher than the predicted molecular weight of 35-36 kDa, which is consistent with the extensive glycosylation characteristic of Fc receptors in their native cellular context. This post-translational modification is biologically relevant, as glycosylation influences receptor function and ligand binding. The recommended working dilution range of 1:500 to 1:5000 for western blotting provides flexibility to optimize signal intensity for your specific experimental conditions. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications.
This antibody supports investigations in immunology and stem cell research where understanding Fc receptor expression and function is essential to experimental goals.
