Description: This R73 monoclonal antibody reacts with the rat and non-human primate T cell receptor α/β chain. αβ TCR is expressed by a majority of thymocytes and peripheral T cells, and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes. Cross-linking of the TCR complex with R73 induces the differentiation and activation of T cells.
The R73 antibody crossreacts with macaques and rhesus monkey.
