Recognizes the delta chain of human IgD and is not reactive with heavy chains from human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgA, or kappa and lambda light chains.
Immunogen
human IgD
Application
Monoclonal Anti-IgD-FITC antibody is suitable for flow cytometry at a concentration of 10μL using 1×106 cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
IgD is the major antigen receptor isotype coexpressed with IgM on the surface of human peripheral B cells. It is associated with early antibody response. It occupies approximately 0.25% of total immunoglobulins. In serum, it has shown that the catabolism of IgD is decreased at high concentrations. IgD molecule comprises of a long “hinge” region (between Fab and Fc) including three constant region domains. This makes the molecule very susceptible to proteolytic degradation with production of Fab and Fc fragments. It also helps to maintain the molecule flexibility that enhance antigen binding capacity. IgD is a potent inducer of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), Interlukin 1β(IL1β), and Interlukin IL1RN (IL1RN). It also accelerates the release of IL6, IL10 from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Its increased level in serum causes hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS).
Other Notes
IgD is expressed on peripheral B cells and is used as a pan-B cell marker.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide
Preparation Note
Prepared by conjugation to fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I (FITC). This green dye is efficiently excited at 495 nm and emits at 525 nm.

Immunoglobulin D (IgD) is normally present in only low concentrations in serum. In the hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS), however, serum levels exceed 140 mg/l. This syndrome is further characterized by recurrent inflammatory febrile attacks together with an acute
