Target

  • Function

    May play an important role in the regulation of lymphoma cell growth. Interacts with a 16-kDa Leu-13 protein to form a complex possibly involved in signal transduction. May acts a the viral receptor for HCV.
  • Tissue specificity

    Hematolymphoid, neuroectodermal and mesenchymal tumor cell lines.
  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in CD81 are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 6 (CVID6) [MIM:613496]; also called antibody deficiency due to CD81 defect. CVID6 is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Not glycosylated.
  • Cellular localization

Question


The images that I send to you are T cells which express tones of CD81 that is why I didn't send any picture of HeLa cells (though based on our experience one can detect CD81 in HeLa cells).
The problem that I am having with the rabbit Ab is that he doesn't correspond to CD81 staining in T cells. CD81 is mostly express at the pm in those cells and I have been working to understand CD81 down regulation in HIV-1 infected cells.
IF staining protocol (standard condition):
Briefly, CEMss cells (T cells) have been allowed to stick on poly-L-lysine treated MatTek dishes for 2h then wash once with PBS, fix using PFA 4% (wash then) for 10 min at 37 deg C, permeabilized (PBS + 1% BSA + 0.2% Triton) for 20 min at 37 deg C, primary Ab were incubated 1h at RT (rabbit anti-CD81 diluted 100 times, while mouse anti-CD81 diluted 500 times), wash , incubated with secondary Ab at RT for 30 min, wash, 2 ml PBS. Then I analyzed my cells on a deconvolution microscope.
Western Blot (standard condition):
When I used the Ab for WB application, I used CEMss lysates (T cells line lysed in PBS-1% Brij 96/97 containing PI) (infected or not). Using your Ab I couldn't see anything but when reprobing using our anti-CD81 I would be able to see the bands … (Conditions: 10% SDS-acrylamide gel, migration 120 V (mini-Protean system), semi-dry transfer (25V for 1h30) onto PVDF membrane, wash once TBS-T, Block in 5% milk in TBS-T, primary ON at 4 deg C, was 3 times, secondary HRP for 30 min at RT, wash 3 times, ECL.
I also was doing IP of CD81 and I couldn't see anything either (I was using the rabbit Ab at a dilution of 1/1000). I was IPing using the ms anti-CD81 and try to detect with the Rabbit again nothing clear in my hands.
Let me know if you have more questions/concerns based on my protocol.
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards,

Answer

Thank you for your reply and protocol information.
If we cannot get this antibody to work as stated on the datasheet we will replace it with a new vial of the same antibody or a different antibody of your choosing free of charge as indicated in our AbPromise guarantee. Given that, I have some more questions and protocol tips.
Are you reducing and denaturing your sample prior to Western blot? We recommend boiling for 5 minutes at 95oC in beta-mercaptoethanol or DTT + SDS prior to loading. Since there is a disulfide bond within the residues that are recognized by this antibody, if that disulfide bond is not broken via reduction/denaturation the antibody may not properly recognize its epitope.
For IF: In our experience testing our antibodies, Triton-X-100 is not appropriate for the use of membrane-associated antigens (such as CD81) since it destroys membranes. Since the specific epitope for ab109201 is extracellular, you should not have to permeabilize the cell membrane in order for the antibody to detect its antigen.
For IP: As stated on the datasheet, this antibody is unsuitable for flow cytometry, IHC-P, and IP, explaining why it did not work in IP for you. The unsuitability of this antibody in these applications where CD81 is in a native conformation is most likely due to the fact that the antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to an extracellular domain of CD81 that contains a disulfide bond (forming a loop) that is harder for the antibody to recognize in native 3D form compared to a linearized (ie. reduced, denatured for WB) form.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Question

Good evening,

I am contacting as I took advantage of your rabbit mAb offer by ordering the anti-CD81 (ab#109201). I tested it by immunofluorescence as well as western blot and unfortunately I couldn't detect CD81 by WB and it wouldn't give me the usual staining by IF in HeLa.
I thus decided to run it against the usual anti-CD81 that I am using by IF in CEMss T cells (CEM cells that are prone to form syncitia) and I couldn't observe colocalization.

Please find enclosed a PPT in which I included images that I took last week.

Let me know what you think about it.

Best regards,

Asked on Nov 29 2012

Answer

Thank you for contacting Abcam.
I am sorry to hear that this antibody is not working for you. As this was a free antibody given through our RabMab promotion, we cannot issue a refund in this case. However, if we cannot work with you to get ab109201 to work as indicated on the datasheet we will happily send you a free of charge replacement of the same antibody or another of your choosing.
Thank you kindly for including the ppt file with your IF results. My main concern is with the lack of a band in the WB, since there is definitely a positive signal in your IF, just not colocalized with the other CD81 antibody you used. Since these two antibodies were raised against different immunogenic sequences for the same CD81 protein, it may be that some cells express CD81 in a form more recognizable by one antibody over the other.
Thus, in order to help troubleshoot these problems, could you provide details regarding your sample, protocol and troubleshooting steps that have been taken, specifically for WB. These will not only help me to fully understand the problem but are essential should further testing of this product be needed as well. Could you also provide the Abcam order confirmation number or the PO and date of purchase for this product?
Based on the information you have provided, I have a few recommendations. According to the Human Protein Atlas database for CD81 (http://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000110651/cell), HeLa cells have very weak, if any, expression of CD81. The positive control cell lines that we have tested are Ramos, JAR, U87 MG, IM 9, Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), C6, PC 12, and RAW264.7 cell lysates. I highly recommend trying one of these positive controls. I look forward to your reply. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
