BioMag® anti-Human CD IgG-coated particles are produced by covalently attaching murine monoclonal antibodies to BioMag® particles. The antibodies were prepared against human leukocyte differentiation antigens. Each product is supplied in phosphate buffered saline with EDTA and sodium azide added as stabilizers, and should be washed in sterile media prior to use to remove the preservative.
The CD71 antigen is also known as the transferrin receptor. CD71 is expressed by activated T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, and erythroblasts. CD71 expression is upregulated on all proliferating cell types and is absent from resting blood leukocytes.
