Product details
This antibody is reported to have signal inducing activity in a redirected lysis assay and to co stimulate IEL and CD8+ lymph node cells in conjunction with anti TCR in vitro, which runs counter to the usual inhibition of CTL by anti integrins. The property of costimulation is not unique to the mouse since the combination of anti human alpha IEL (intraepithelial lymphocytes) plus anti TCR will produce similar proliferation in human cells, with the exception that CD8+ cells are not stimulated.

Biological function summary
CD103 is essential for establishing and maintaining interactions between immune cells and epithelial cells. By incorporating into the αEβ7 integrin complex it plays an important role in the localization of intraepithelial lymphocytes and dendritic cells in the gut mucosa and skin contributing to immune surveillance and protection of these barriers. CD103 helps to control lymphocyte activation and the migration process offering a critical surface marker for identifying tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm cells) and discerning their functional potential.
Pathways
CD103 functions prominently in the immunological environment by participating in pathways that regulate lymphocyte adherence and migration. Two significant pathways it fits into include the T-cell homing and retention pathways and the antigen presentation pathway. Through these pathways CD103 interacts with molecules such as E-cadherin and impacts the movement of T cells to epithelial sites influencing tissue-specific immune responses alongside related proteins like integrin beta 7 which forms a part of the same integrin complex.
