CD123(IL-3Rα)-muIg Biotinylated

INFORMATION:  Human CD123 (Interleukin 3 Receptor alpha) is a 70kD type I transmembrane molecule, and is the low affinity receptor for the cytokine IL-3, which can stimulate proliferation or differentiation.  When paired in a heterodimer with CD131 (IL-3 R beta), it binds IL-3 with much higher affinity.  CD123 is found on Myeloid precusors, Stem cells, a subset of T cells, some B cells Megakaryocytes, basophils, monocytes and epithelial cells.  CD123 is present at high levels on many hematologic malignancies and antibodies(2) and CAR T cells(1). Antibodies against CD123 have been used successfully to combat Acute Myeloid Leukemia (2).

Molecular Structure: A soluble molecule consisting of the extracellular domain of mature human CD123 fused  to murine IgG2a Fc.
