CD71 (Ber-T9) Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry

 

Description: CD71, also known as the transferrin receptor, is a 95 kDa type II membrane glycoprotein that is present as a disulfide-linked homodimer. CD71 binds to two molecules of transferrin, which is a serum iron-transport protein, and it directs the cellular uptake of iron via receptor-mediated endocytosis. CD71 is not expressed on resting leukocytes but is upregulated upon activation of lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages. CD71 is also found on most dividing cells and on brain endothelium.
