Product details:
Human CD7 ELISA Kit (ab284026) is designed for the detection of CD7 in human plasma, serum, urine, saliva, and cell culture samples.
This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human CD7 in approximately 4 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human CD7 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. CD7 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human CD7, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

CD7 also known as Leu-9 or GP40 is a cell surface protein with a mass of approximately 40 kDa. The target is mainly expressed on T cells and NK cells and can be found during early T-cell development. Researchers also report CD7 expression in some B cell lineage progenitors. The CD7 function involves mediating cell signal transduction which contributes to the activation and differentiation of immune cells making it an important target in immunology studies.
Biological function summary
CD7 plays a role in modulating interactions between immune cells without being part of a larger complex. It bridges interactions promoting immune responses by influencing T cell proliferation and cytokine production. CD7 control is important in regulating immune response intensity and provides an essential checkpoint in immune system modulation. Variations in CD7 function can significantly influence immune cell behavior impacting host defense mechanisms.
Pathways
CD7 participates in immune signaling pathways such as the T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway. This pathway is essential for T cell activation and involves proteins like CD3 and ZAP-70 which work together with CD7 to transduce activation signals. Alterations in the CD7 pathway can affect the downstream signaling events leading to changes in immune cell activation and function.
Aberrations in CD7 expression or function link to conditions like T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and certain autoimmune diseases. In T-ALL abnormal CD7 expression serves as an indicator for diagnosis and disease progression monitoring. CD7 also interacts with proteins such as CD45 and CD3 which play roles in leukemogenesis and immune system dysregulation. Studies also explore anti-CD7 strategies for therapeutic interventions aiming to modulate its activity for treating these conditions effectively.
