anti-human CD23, Clone LT23
Description
CD23 (Fc epsilon RII), the low affinity IgE receptor, is a 45 kDa type II membrane glycoprotein expressed more or less on eosinophils, follicular dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, mature B cells (mainly upon activation), EBVtransformed lymphoblasts, monocytes, and subpopulation of platelets. A soluble form of 37 kDa and other its fragments were also described. CD23 mediates IgEdependent cytotoxicity by eosinophils and macrophages, and downregulates IgE secretion in response to high levels of IgE, involving release of proinflammatory cytokines.
Properties
The monoclonal antibody ADG5014/L (clone LT23) is a murine monoclonal antibody, subclass IgG1. The antibody has been purified form ascites by DEAE chromatography, Purity > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
The antibody is specific for the human CD23 antigen, it reacts with surface B cell antigen CD23. CD23 is the low affinity receptor for IgE.
HLDA IV; WS Code P 99.

CD23 is known as the low-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RII). Binding of IgE to its receptors exerts cellular signaling. Platelets express both, the low-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RII/CD23), as well as the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RI). By flow cytometric analysis the authors found that a low proportion of platelets co-expresses Fc epsilon RI and Fc epsilon RII/CD23. Functional studies revealed that anti-Fc epsilon RII/CD23 antibodies significantly inhibited Fc epsilon RI-mediated functions in platelets, indicating down-regulatory effects of receptor-ligand interaction of Fc epsilon RII/CD23.

The low-affinity IgE receptor (CD23) is expressed by platelets. Thus thrombocytes may contribute to long-lasting IgE sensitivity by serving as a storage pool for IgE. The authors provide evidence to conclude “that platelets of atopic individuals may contribute to allergic inflammation by serving as a storage pool for IgE and by their increased capacity to liberate further mediators of allergy in response to IgE stimulation.”
