The B lymphocyte antigen receptor is a multimeric complexthat includes the antigen-specific component, surfaceimmunoglobulin (Ig). Surface Ig non-covalently associates with twoother proteins, Ig-alpha and Ig-beta, which are necessary forexpression and function of the B-cell antigen receptor. This geneencodes the Ig-alpha protein of the B-cell antigen component.Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding differentisoforms have been described.

Titration of the CD79a antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

A portion of amino acids 160-188 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this CD79a antibody.

Aliquot the CD79a antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
