Anti-CD19 (mouse) (APC), clone 1D3

Protein function: Functions as coreceptor for the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) on B-lymphocytes. Decreases the threshold for activation of downstream signaling pathways and for triggering B- cell responses to antigens. Activates signaling pathways that lead to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase and the mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) stores (PubMed:9382888, PubMed:12387743, PubMed:20101619). Is not required for early steps during B cell differentiation in the blood marrow (PubMed:7542548, PubMed:7543183, PubMed:9317126). Required for normal differentiation of B-1 cells (PubMed:7542548, PubMed:7543183, PubMed:12387743). Required for normal B cell differentiation and proliferation in response to antigen challenges (PubMed:7542548, PubMed:9317126, PubMed:12387743). Required for normal levels of serum immunoglobulins, and for production of high-affinity antibodies in response to antigen challenge (PubMed:7542548, PubMed:7543183, PubMed:12387743).
