Description: The 9D1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD150, an ~70 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein also known as Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule (SLAM). CD150 is expressed by T (especially TH1) and B cells and its expression is rapidly upregulated on these cells upon activation. Immature thymocytes and dendritic cells also express this antigen. Signaling through SLAM in T cells induces proliferation and augmentation of the interferon-gamma response. Furthermore, SLAM is thought to play a role in adhesion between the T cell and antigen-presenting cell. 9D1 is reported to be an activating antibody.
Mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) can be identified using SLAM family markers, such as CD150+CD244-CD48-. For this application we recommend the use of antibody clone mShad150 (cat. 12-1502).
