CD79a - Mouse Monoclonal LN2

CD79a is non-covalently associated with membrane-bound immunoglobulins on B-cells to constitute the B-cell Ag receptor. CD79a first appears at pre B-cell stage and persists until the plasma-cell stage, where it is found as an intracellular component. CD79a is found in the majority of Acute Leukemias of precursor B-cell type, in B-cell lines, B-cell Lymphomas, and in some Myelomas. CD79a is a B-cell marker that is generally used to complement CD20. This antibody will stain many of the same Lymphomas as CD20, but also stains more B-precursor Lymphoid Leukemias than CD20. CD79a also stains more cases of Plasma-cell Myeloma and occasionally some types of endothelial cells as well. CD79a will stain many cases of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (FAB-M3), but only rarely stains other types of Myeloid Leukemia.

Available options include prediluted (3ml, 7 ml, 15ml), concentrate (0.1 ml, 0.5ml, 1ml) and 5+ control slides.
