Specificity

NB100-65272 recognizes the human CD103 cell surface antigen, a glycoprotein expressed by approximately 1% of peripheral blood lymphocytes, activated T lymphocytes and by hairy cell leukaemia cells. The antigen is also expressed by intraepithelial lymphocytes. It has recently been shown to be identical to the alpha E integrin.

Background: Integrin alpha E/CD103

CD103/Integrin alpha E is a new member of the integrin series of adhesion molecules containing the beta7 subunit. This antigen defines a developmentally important subset of T cells, namely mucosal T cells including all IEL (intraepithelial lymphocytes) and approx. 20% of lamina propria T cells. Expression of CD103 is more restricted outside these mucosal organs, appearing at lower levels on T cell subsets of the lymph node, dendritic epidermis and periphery. In non-epithelial CD103+ T cells there is a bias toward expression on CD8+ cells. Integrin alpha E is a heterodimer comprising a 150kDa alpha chain and a 120kDa beta chain. Integrin alpha E is expressed by approximately 1% of peripheral blood lymphocytes, activated T lymphocytes and by hairy cell leukemia cells. The antigen is also expressed by intraepithelial lymphocytes. This antibody is reported to have signal inducing activity in a redirected lysis assay and to co stimulate IEL and CD8+ lymph node cells in conjunction with anti TCR in vitro, which runs counter to the usual inhibition of CTL by anti integrins. The property of costimulation is not unique to the mouse since the combination of anti human alpha IEL (intraepithelial lymphocytes) plus anti TCR will produce similar proliferation in human cells, with the exception that CD8+ cells are not stimulated.
