CD19 (RM) [RM332]

Product Description

The Biocare CD19 antibody detects CD19, a transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily encoded by the CD19 gene and regulated by the B-cell-specific activator protein (BSAP).¹⁵

CD19 is expressed across nearly all developmental and activation-dependent stages of B-cell differentiation and serves as a key regulator of antigendependent B-cell activation.¹⁵ It is expressed in various B-cell lymphomas, although expression may be weak or absent in follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.¹⁶
