The Human CD74 Monoclonal Antibody (PE/Cyanine5.5 Conjugated) LN2 (AGEL1056) is a powerful tool for researchers investigating CD74, a key protein involved in immune regulation and antigen presentation. This monoclonal antibody, conjugated with PE/Cyanine5.5, offers high specificity and sensitivity in detecting CD74 in human samples. CD74, also known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II invariant chain, plays a pivotal role in the adaptive immune response by facilitating antigen presentation to T cells. Its expression is crucial for immune surveillance and activation of the immune system against pathogens and abnormal cells. The CD74 Monoclonal Antibody allows for precise visualization and quantification of CD74 levels in various cell types, making it an essential tool for immunology and cancer research.
Given the role of CD74 in immune function and its potential implications in diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory conditions, studying its expression and regulation is vital for understanding disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapies. The CD74 Monoclonal Antibody (PE/Cyanine5.5 Conjugated) LN2 (AGEL1056) provides researchers with a reliable means to explore the involvement of CD74 in immune responses, making it a valuable asset in advancing scientific knowledge and improving healthcare outcomes.

Background:
CD74 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein also known as MHC class II associated invariant chain, invariant chain, Ii, MHC class II chaperone, and MIF receptor. CD74 exists in four isoforms with molecular masses of 33, 35, 41, and 43 kD, depending on genetic splicing. CD74 is primarily expressed on antigen presenting cells, including B cells, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and Langerhans cells. It is also expressed by activated T cells and activated endothelial and epithelial cells as well as carcinomas of lung, renal, gastric and thymic origin. The primary function of CD74 is intracellular sorting of MHC class II molecules and regulation of exogenous peptide loading onto MHC class II. It is also involved in the modulation of B cell differentiation and positive selection of CD4+ T cells. It has been reported that CD74 binds MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) and signals through CD44 to regulate innate and adaptive immunity. It is also reported that H. pylori infection occurs through urease B binding of CD74 on gastric epithelial cells, inducing gastric epithelial cell apoptosis, NF-κB activation, and IL-8 production.
