Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Zap-70 (99F2) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total Zap-70.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding the amino-terminus of human Zap-70.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Background

Zap-70, a Syk family protein tyrosine kinase expressed in T and NK cells, plays a critical role in mediating T cell activation in response to T cell receptor (TCR) engagement (1). Following TCR engagement, Zap-70 is rapidly phosphorylated on several tyrosine residues, presumably by two mechanisms: autophosphorylation and transphosphorylation by the Src family tyrosine kinase, Lck (2-6). Tyrosine phosphorylation of Zap-70 correlates with its increased kinase activity and downstream signaling events. In patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), total Zap-70 expression was shown to be correlated with disease progression and survival (7,8).
