MS4A4A Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: 5C12]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	5C12
Applications	FC, IP
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	This antibody was generated by immunizing C57BL/6 mice against mouse cell line 300-19 expressing transfected human membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 4A (MS4A4A)-GFP.
Specificity	This antibody is specific for human extracellular MS4A4A. 5C12 mAb only partially cross-blocked either 4H2 (Ab01373) and 3F2 (Ab01375) and therefore probably detects a unique or overlapping epitope (Sanyal et al., 2017; pmid: 28303902). MS4A (membrane-spanning 4-domain family, subfamily A) is a large family of proteins that includes at least 26 members in mouse and humans. Flanked by amino- and carboxyl- cytoplasmic regions, MS4A family members contain four highly conserved transmembrane domains connected by short extracellular and cytoplasmic loops. MS4A4A is likely to be a component of oligomeric cell surface complexes involved in signal transduction in diverse cell lineages. 5C12 is recommended for the detection and analysis of expression of MS4A4A. Importantly, MS4A4A has been shown to be a marker for M2 macrophages and plasma cells and to be overexpressed in multiple myelomas, suggesting a potential role in targeting alternatively activated macrophages such as tumor-associated macrophages, and in the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma (Sanyal et al., 2017; pmid: 28303902). The antibody 5C12 can be successfully used for the detection of MS4A4A-expressing cells via flow cytometry (Sanyal et al., 2017; pmid: 28303902). Finally, specificity of this antibody was additionally confirmed via immunoprecipitation of lysates of BJAB MS4A4A-HA cells (Sanyal et al., 2017; pmid: 28303902).
