This antibody recognises human CD74, a type II transmembrane protein, also known as the MHC class II associated invariant chain. The Bu45 antibody recognises 33, 35 and 41 kDa isoforms of CD74. The CD74 molecule plays a critical role in the presentation of peptides, by the MHC class II antigens, to CD4 positive lymphocytes.CD74 is expressed on MHC class II positive cells including B cells, a subset of activated T cells, monocytes, dendritic cells and by various types of carcinoma. Expression of CD74 is primarily intracellular with moderate expression at the cell surface of B cells and monocytes. Mouse anti Human CD74 antibody, clone Bu45 binds to an epitope within the extracytoplasmic domain of the CD74 molecule, which is distal from the C-terminus.
