Anti-CD74 [LN-2]
Immunofluorescence (IF)
(Immunofluorescence staining of fixed Daudi cells with anti-CD74 antibody LN-2 (MBS488743) Immunofluorescence analysis of paraformaldehyde fixed Daudi cells on Shi-fix coverslips stained with the chimeric rabbit IgG version of LN-2 () at 10ug/ml for 1h followed by Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody (2ug/ml), showing membrane staining. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right, top-bottom , DAPI, merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was an unknown specificity antibody (MBS488140) followed by staining with Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody.)
Western Blot (WB)
(Western Blot using anti-CD74 antibody LN-2 (MBS488743) Daudi cell lysate (A), human spleen (B) and human tonsil (C) tissue lysates (35ug protein in RIPA buffer) were resolved on a SDS PAGE gel and blots were probed with the chimeric rabbit version of LN-2 () at 0.0001ug/ml, 0.001ug/ml and 0.0001ug/ml, respectively, before detection using an anti-rabbit secondary antibody. A primary incubation of 1h was used and protein was detected by chemiluminescence.)
Flow Cytometry (FC)
(Flow cytometry using the Anti-CD74 antibody LN-2 (MBS488743). Paraformaldehyde fixed Daudi cells were stained with anti-unknown specificity antibody (MBS488149; isotype control, black line) or the rabbit IgG version of LN-2 (MBS488743, blue line) at a dilution of 1:100 for 1h at RT. After washing, the bound antibody was detected using a goat anti-rabbit IgG AlexaFluor 488 antibody at a dilution of 1:1000 and cells analyzed using a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.)

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene associates with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and is an important chaperone that regulates antigen presentation for immune response. It also serves as cell surface receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) which, when bound to the encoded protein, initiates survival pathways and cell proliferation. This protein also interacts with amyloid precursor protein (APP) and suppresses the production of amyloid beta (Abeta). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Uniprot Description
CD74: Plays a critical role in MHC class II antigen processing by stabilizing peptide-free class II alpha/beta heterodimers in a complex soon after their synthesis and directing transport of the complex from the endoplasmic reticulum to the endosomal/lysosomal system where the antigen processing and binding of antigenic peptides to MHC class II takes place. Serves as cell surface receptor for the cytokine MIF. A chromosomal aberration involving CD74 is found in a non-small cell lung tumor. Results in the formation of a CD74- ROS1 chimeric protein. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The CD74 cd74 (Catalog #AAA488743) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-CD74 [LN-2] reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CD74 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FC), ELISA (EIA), Immunoprecipitation (IP). Anti-CD74 has been shown to be useful in differentiating atypical fibroxanthoma (-) from malignant fibrous histiocytoma (+). This antibody can be used for the identification of B cell lymphoma and leukemias. It also stains activated neoplastic cells in T cell lymphomas and Sternberg-reed cells. Furthermore, this antibody was shown to be capable of distinguishing small cell lung cancer from a non small cell lung cancer as a part of a panel of antibodies (Ioachim et al., 1996). Furthermore, LN2 was successfully used in immunohistochemical and flow cytometric analysis of lung cancer tissue and cells (Ioachim et al., 1996). Finally, this antibody is also useful in immunofluorescence analysis of CD74, as it was very effective in labelling this protein in CD74-transfected COS-7 cells (Leng et al., 2003). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD74 cd74 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD74, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
