Protocol Available protocols: IHC Leica Bond, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Specificity / Sensitivity CD103/ITGAE (EP206) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of CD103/ITGAE protein. Non-specific staining was observed in kidney proximal tubules by immunohistochemistry. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the residues of human CD103/ITGAE protein. Background Cluster of differentiation molecule 103 (CD103)/Integrin, alpha E (ITGAE) is a transmembrane protein forming heterodimers that are composed of α and β subunits. CD103/ITGAE is expressed by subsets of CD4 and CD8 T cells, dendritic cells, and mast cells in mucosal tissues (1,2). The heterodimer composed of CD103/ITGAE and integrin beta 7 interacts with E-cadherin, a cellular adhesion molecule found on epithelial cells. The CD103/ITGAE and integrin beta 7 complex plays a role in thymocyte proliferation, intestinal T cell homing, and the antitumor immune response (3-5). Studies have shown that the presence of CD103/ITGAE(+) immune cells can be used as markers for a favorable prognosis in different epithelial cancers (6,7).
