SLAMF7 antibody, also known as Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 7 antibody, recognizes a cell surface immunoglobulin superfamily receptor commonly referred to as CS1 (CD2 subset 1) and CD319. The SLAMF7 gene encodes a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is predominantly expressed on natural killer cells, subsets of activated T cells, mature dendritic cells, and plasma cells. Structurally, SLAMF7 contains extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail that mediates intracellular signaling through adaptor proteins such as EAT-2. This receptor is a member of the SLAM family of immune regulatory molecules and plays an important role in immune cell activation and cytotoxic responses.
Functionally, SLAMF7 is involved in modulating natural killer cell activation, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and immune synapse formation. Engagement of SLAMF7 can enhance NK cell-mediated killing of target cells through homotypic interactions or antibody-mediated crosslinking. In plasma cells, including malignant plasma cells, SLAMF7 is consistently expressed at high levels, making it a valuable marker in hematopathology and oncology research. Because of its restricted expression pattern in normal tissues and strong expression in multiple myeloma and certain lymphoid malignancies, SLAMF7 antibody has become an important tool for studying tumor immunobiology and immune-based therapeutic strategies.
In normal lymphoid tissues such as spleen, tonsil, and lymph node, SLAMF7 expression is typically observed in subsets of lymphocytes, particularly NK cells and plasma cells, showing membranous staining patterns consistent with its surface localization. In malignant settings, strong membranous and sometimes cytoplasmic staining may be detected in plasma cell neoplasms and selected lymphomas. This expression profile aligns with transcriptomic and proteomic datasets demonstrating enrichment in hematopoietic lineages.
SLAMF7 antibody is suitable for detecting SLAMF7 expression in immunohistochemistry, western blot, and other research applications. Its utility spans studies of immune cell differentiation, tumor microenvironment analysis, and evaluation of therapeutic targets in hematologic malignancies. By enabling precise detection of SLAMF7, researchers can better characterize immune effector populations and investigate mechanisms underlying cytotoxic immune responses and plasma cell biology.
Optimal dilution of the SLAMF7 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 249-335 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the SLAMF7 antibody.
Store the SLAMF7 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
