Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

The 6B10.2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD3 zeta (CD3Z or CD3ζ), which is also known as either CD247 or the invariant TCR zeta chain (TCRZ, T3Z, or TCRζ). CD3ζ (CD247) is a ~16 kDa single-pass, type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the CD3Z/FCER1G family. CD3ζ (CD247) has a short extracellular domain of nine amino acids and a cytoplasmic domain that contains three immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). Disulfide-linked CD3ζ homodimers usually associate with other transmembrane CD3 protein subunits (CD3δ, CD3ε, and CD3γ) to form the CD3 signaling complex which is linked to the clonotypic T cell receptor (TCR) for antigen, αβ TCR or γδ TCR. CD3ζ (CD247) is also expressed by natural killer (NK) cells where it can function as a signaling subunit associated with CD16a (FcγRIIIa), a receptor for IgG complexes. Human CD16a can couple with either CD3ζ or FcεRIγ homodimers, or CD3ζ-FcεRIγ heterodimers that serve to transduce IgG-bound CD16a-mediated signals intracellularly. Low or absent CD3ζ (CD247) expression is reportedly associated with impaired immune responses leading to some chronic infections or autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. The 6B10.2 antibody is directed against the cytoplasmic domain of human CD3ζ (CD247).
