Anti-TMEM119 (L128/43) Recombinant Chicken Chimeric mAb (L128/43)
Our chicken Anti-TMEM119, OBIF recombinant monoclonal antibody is a chimeric antibody derived from NeuroMab clone L128/43. It detects mouse TMEM119, OBIF, and is purified by affinity chromatography. It is great for use in ICC, IHC, WB.



Representative section of formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded rat brain stem showing microglia cells stained by anti-TMEM119 antibody. The sections were stained with Aves Labs anti-TMEM119 recombinant chicken monoclonal antibody (visualized in green, Cat No. 78-512) at 1:100 dilution. The stained sections were mounted with Antibodies Incorporated FluoroshieldTM with DAPI and DABCO mounting medium (Cat No. AR-6505). DAPI nuclear stain (blue) shows cell nuclei. Magnification 400X.

Product Details
TMEM119, OBIF
TMEM119, is a plasma membrane protein first identified because of its role in the differentiation of osteoblasts (Kanamoto et al., 2009). However TMEM119 is also known to be a specific marker of microglia, the tissue-resident macrophages of brain and spinal cord (Bennett et al., 2016). Unlike other microglia markers, TMEM119 expression readily distinguishes resident microglia from blood-derived macrophages, making it a highly specific microglia marker. In healthy brain microglia are the resident immune cells where they act to neutralize pathogens, clear dead and dying cells, and prune synaptic connections. However, in neurodegenerative disease microglia can actually promote neuronal degeneration through reduced phagocytic clearance and increased pro-inflammatory effects. Our anti-TMEM119 antibody is a highly specific microglial marker for mouse TMEM119 and works by western blot and immunocytochemistry.

This recombinant antibody is a chimeric antibody created by replacing the mouse heavy and light constant regions of our NeuroMab clone L128/43 with chicken IgY heavy and light constant regions. As such this antibody retains the same binding performance as the original clone L128/43 but can be detected using standard anti-chicken secondary antibodies allowing flexibility for multiplexing applications. This antibody is expressed recombinantly in mammalian cells and then affinity purified from the cell culture media.
