CD3 epsilon (CD3E) is a membrane-associated signaling component of the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex that is consistently expressed in T lymphocytes and is essential for antigen recognition and downstream signal transduction. CD3e Antibody for WB / CD3 Epsilon Western Blot Antibody is specifically optimized for detecting CD3 Epsilon / CD3E in protein lysates, enabling direct analysis of TCR complex components at the protein level. CD3e antibody, also known as CD3 epsilon antibody or CD3E antibody, is widely recognized as a pan-T cell marker antibody and is commonly used in western blot workflows to confirm T-cell-derived protein expression.
CD3 epsilon forms part of the CD3 signaling complex together with CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, and CD3 zeta chains, which associate with the TCR alpha-beta or gamma-delta heterodimer at the cell membrane. This complex is required for initiating intracellular signaling cascades following antigen engagement. Because CD3 epsilon is a structural and functional component of this receptor complex, detection by western blot provides a direct measure of TCR-associated protein expression in T-cell lysates.
In western blot analysis, CD3e Antibody for WB typically detects a band corresponding to CD3 epsilon at approximately 20-25 kDa, consistent with the predicted molecular weight of the protein. This band is most prominently observed in T-cell-derived lysates such as Jurkat cells, which are widely used as a model system for studying TCR signaling. The presence of a clear, well-defined band at this molecular weight supports accurate identification of CD3 epsilon and confirms expression of T-cell receptor components within the sample.
This CD3e Antibody for WB is uniquely positioned for validating T-cell identity and assessing TCR complex integrity at the protein level. In experimental workflows, western blotting is frequently used to confirm expression of CD3 epsilon following cell isolation, enrichment, or experimental manipulation. The ability to detect CD3 epsilon in lysates provides a complementary approach to cell-based assays such as flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, enabling cross-validation of T-cell presence and protein expression.
Because CD3 epsilon is a membrane-associated protein within a multi-subunit complex, efficient extraction and solubilization are important for optimal detection in western blot analysis. Appropriate lysis conditions help ensure release of CD3 epsilon from the membrane while maintaining its detectability as a discrete band during SDS-PAGE separation. Under these conditions, CD3e antibody reagents enable consistent visualization of CD3 epsilon with minimal background signal.
Western blot detection of CD3 epsilon can also provide insight into protein stability and experimental effects on TCR components. Changes in band intensity may reflect alterations in protein expression, degradation, or cellular signaling states. This makes CD3e antibody reagents useful for monitoring T-cell responses in experimental systems involving activation, inhibition, or environmental stress.
CD3e Antibody for WB delivers reliable detection of CD3 epsilon with strong band clarity and reproducible performance across experiments. It is well suited for protein-level analysis of T-cell biology, supporting studies of TCR signaling, immune function, and cellular identity in western blot-based assays.
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the CD3e Antibody for WB / CD3 Epsilon Western Blot Antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
Amino acids ERPPPVPNPDYEP (156-168) were used as the immunogen for this CD3e Antibody for WB / CD3 Epsilon Western Blot Antibody. This sequence is from the cytoplasmic portion of the protein.
Store the CD3e antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
