IL‑3 R alpha/CD123 was detect-ed in immersion fixed human peripheral blood lymphocytes using 2 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human IL‑3 R alpha/CD123 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB301) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained (red) and counter-stained (green). View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Non-adherent Cells.

IL‑3 R alpha/CD123 in Human Tonsil.

IL-3 Ra/CD123 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human tonsil using 15 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human IL-3 Ra/CD123 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB301) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS002) and counter-stained with hematoxylin (blue).

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑3 and Neutralization by Human IL‑3 R alpha/CD123 Antibody.

Recombinant Human IL-3 (203-IL) stimulates proliferation in the TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-3 (0.5 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti-Human IL-3 Ra/CD123 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB301). The ND₅₀ is typically 0.6-1.2 µg/mL.

Background: IL-3R alpha

IL-3 is a pleiotropic cytokine that can stimulate proliferation and differentiation of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells as well as various lineage committed progenitors (1, 2). IL-3 exerts its activity through binding to a specific cell surface receptor known as IL-3 R. IL-3 R is a heterodimeric structure composed of a 70 kDa IL-3 R alpha subunit (CD123) and a 120-140 kDa IL-3 R beta subunit (CD131) (3, 4). IL-3 R alpha binds IL-3 with relatively low affinity. In the presence of IL-3 R beta, however, IL-3 R alpha has a much higher affinity for IL-3. It is not clear how signal transduction occurs following IL-3 binding. The IL-3 R alpha chain has a very short intracellular domain while the IL‑3 R beta chain has a very large cytoplasmic domain. The IL‑3 R beta chain is also shared by the receptors for IL-5 and GM-CSF. Cells known to express IL-3 receptors include hematopoietic progenitors, epithelial cells, double negative T cells, mast cells, basophils and blood monocytes (5).
