Linker for Activation of T Cells<br />

Clone 3.8<br />

1 mL liquid NCL-L-LAT F P (HIER)<br />

7 mL ready-to-use RTU-LAT F P (HIER)<br />

Stimulation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) results in the activation of<br />

several protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) associated with the TCR. These<br />

activated PTKs phosphorylated tyrosine residues on multiple protein<br />

substrates. This phosphorylation results in the activation of enzymes such<br />

as phospholipase C gamma or creates sites of binding for proteins involved<br />

in the activation cascade. Linker for activation of T cells (LAT) is an integral<br />

membrane protein (36 to 38 kD) which plays an important role in linking<br />

engagement of the TCR to the biochemical events of T cell activation. LAT is<br />

a substrate of activated ZAP-70 and Syk PTKs. It binds following tyrosine<br />

phosphorylation, Grb2, PLC-gamma1 and other critical signalling molecules<br />

recruiting them to the plasma membrane. This has the effect of enhancing<br />

the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues required for enzymatic activation<br />

and promoting the formation of protein complexes. LAT mRNA is found in NK<br />

cells and mast cells. LAT protein has been reported to be detected in thymus<br />

and peripheral lymphoid tissues such as T cell areas in lymph nodes and<br />

spleen. In the small intestine, intra-epithelial T cells also express LAT, and in<br />

bone mar<strong>row</strong>, LAT is expressed by T lymphocytes in interstitial spaces and<br />

also by platelets and megakaryocytes. LAT is reported not to be expressed<br />

in B cells, macrophages, plasma cells, monocytes, epithelial histiocytes and<br />

dendritic cells.<br />

L-selectin (CD62L)<br />

Clone 9H6<br />

1 mL lyophilized NCL-CD62L-489 P (HIER)<br />

The CD62L antigen is also known as Leu-8, TQ1, LAM1, MEL-14 antigen,<br />

lymph node homing antigen and L-selectin. It mediates the tethering and<br />

rolling of leukocytes on endothelial surfaces and also contributes to the<br />

recruitment of leukocytes from the blood to areas of inflammation. CD62L<br />

antigen is also important for the homing of naive lymphocytes to peripheral<br />

lymph nodes and Peyer's patches and can also mediate neutrophil to<br />

neutrophil interactions via the recognition of CD162 antigen. CD62L antigen<br />

is reported to be expressed on the surface of mantle zone B lymphocytes in<br />

different lymphoid sites but is absent on germinal center B cells. It is also<br />

expressed on a proportion of T cells in peripheral lymph nodes, mucosal<br />

lymphoid sites and spleen. Non-lymphocytic staining has been reported on<br />

Langerhans cells, follicular dendritic cells in tonsil, neutrophils, monocytes<br />

and on macrophages in the thymus. Ligands for CD62L are expressed not<br />

only in specific vascular endothelium in lymph nodes and Peyer's patches<br />

but also in extravascular tissues such as brain white matter, the choroid<br />

plexus and in kidney distal tubuli.<br />

NCL-CD62L-489. Note membrane staining of lymphocytes. Paraffin section.<br />

Lung Resistance-Related Protein (110 kD)<br />

Clone 9D6<br />

1 mL lyophilized NCL-LRRP P (HIER) W<br />

Multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines are reported to frequently overexpress<br />

the 100 kD lung resistance protein (LRP) also known as lung resistancerelated<br />

protein (LRRP). The overexpression of LRRP in acute myeloid<br />

leukemias, multiple and ovarian carcinomas has been reported. LRRP<br />

functions as a major vault transporter protein where vaults are multi-subunit<br />

structures which may be involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport. LRRP is<br />

overexpressed in P-glycoprotein negative multidrug-resistant tumor cell<br />

lines of different histogenetic origins and show an ATP-dependent drug<br />

accumulation effect. LRRP is also reported to be expressed in normal<br />

tissues, with expression being highest in epithelial cells with secretory and<br />

excretory functions such as bronchial cells and intestinal epithelial cells.<br />

(110 kD) using NCL-LRRP. Note cytoplasmic staining of cells within the seminiferous tubules.<br />
