Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes B-cell differentiation antigen CD72 in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 40.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 35 kDa.
CD72 is a C-type lectin-like co-receptor on B cells that mainly restrains B-cell receptor signaling. It recognizes the Sm/RNP self-antigen, and through ITIM motifs and the phosphatase SHP-1 it helps maintain tolerance to nuclear self-antigens, so it is studied in B-cell regulation and lupus-like autoimmunity.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
| Immunocytochemistry / Immunofluorescence | 5 µg/mL (Mouse) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Mouse) |

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse spleen tissue, rat spleen tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): HEPA1–6 cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): ANA-1 cells, mouse spleen tissue.
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse CD72 fragment (Ala8–Arg346), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places B-cell differentiation antigen CD72 in the membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Pre-B-cells and B-cells but not terminally differentiated plasma cells. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
