Product details:
Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the NSO/U myeloma cell line. This clone has been described reacting with paraffin embedded material following PLP fixation (see Whiteland et al., 1995). It only labels B cells among thoracic duct lymphocytes, with little labelling in bone marrow and none on thymocytes (Barclay et al., 1987).

CD45RA also known as CD45RA antigen and T200 is an isoform of the CD45 protein family. It is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase with a molecular mass of approximately 220 kDa. CD45RA expression is abundant on naive T-cells and subsets of other immune cells like B cells. Researchers frequently use CD45RA antibodies including CD45RA-PE and CD45RA-FITC for flow cytometry to identify and study immune cell subsets.
Biological function summary
CD45RA plays a significant role in regulating T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling. By dephosphorylating specific phosphotyrosine residues on substrates CD45RA modulates signal transduction pathways important for T-cell activation and differentiation. This protein does not act alone but is part of a regulatory network that influences immune responses and cellular development through its interaction with other cell surface receptors and intracellular kinases.
Pathways
CD45RA modulation is integral to T-cell development and activation processes. It is an important participant in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway and the Jak-STAT signaling pathway. In these pathways CD45 interacts with proteins such as Lck and Fyn which are essential for propagating receptor-mediated signaling events in T-cells. Effective signal regulation through CD45RA is necessary to ensure appropriate immune responses.
CD45RA has links to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The aberrant expression or function of CD45RA on immune cells can lead to improper immune activation or suppression contributing to the pathology of these diseases. Crossover with other proteins such as CD45RO which is an isoform involved in memory T-cell function indicates a broader network of immune regulation where CD45RA maintains the balance between immune activation and tolerance.
