anti-TCR Cβ1 Allophycocyanin
Isotype: Murine IgG2a
Immunogen: Human HA1.7 TCR beta chain expressed on transgenic mouse cells
Specificity: Antibody JOVI-1 recognizes human C beta 1 TCR gene product and reacts with 50-75% of T cells in normal human blood (1). JOVI-1 does not bind to TCR C beta 2 (5).
Functional Application: Antibody JOVI-1 is mitogenic for T cells expressing TCR C beta 1. Jovi-1 has been used to identify T-cell Leukemia(8), and other T cell malignancies(9).
