Background Information


CD150, also known as SLAMF1 (Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule Family member 1), is an immunoregulatory cell surface receptor involved in lymphocyte activation, differentiation, and immune coordination. It is expressed primarily on immune cells, including activated T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and certain innate lymphoid cell subsets. CD150 is a founding member of the SLAM family, a group of receptors that fine-tune immune responses through cell-cell interactions.

Structurally, CD150 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Its extracellular region consists of two Ig-like domains: a membrane-distal variable (V)-like domain and a membrane-proximal constant (C2)-like domain. These domains mediate receptor engagement, which occurs primarily through homophilic binding, meaning CD150 on one cell binds to CD150 on another. The cytoplasmic tail contains conserved immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs (ITSMs), which are essential for downstream signaling.

Functionally, CD150 acts as a costimulatory and regulatory receptor. Upon engagement, the ITSMs recruit adaptor proteins such as SLAM-associated protein (SAP) or EAT-2, which determine the qualitative outcome of signaling. Through these interactions, CD150 influences pathways controlling cytokine production, cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and immune synapse formation. In T and B cells, CD150 signaling modulates activation and antibody responses, while in macrophages and dendritic cells it contributes to microbial sensing and inflammatory cytokine production.

CD150 plays important roles in disease. Disruption of signaling downstream of CD150, particularly due to mutations in SAP, leads to X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP), a severe immunodeficiency characterized by uncontrolled immune activation, especially following Epstein-Barr virus infection. CD150 is also a well-established cellular receptor for measles virus, enabling viral entry into immune cells and contributing to the profound immunosuppression observed during measles. Altered CD150 expression or signaling has additionally been linked to autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, and certain hematologic malignancies.

Therapeutically, CD150 is relevant as both a biomarker and a potential immunomodulatory target. It is used to identify activated immune cell populations and to study immune dysregulation. Modulating CD150 signaling is being explored as a strategy to enhance immune responses in cancer and chronic infection or to suppress pathological activation in autoimmune conditions. Furthermore, understanding CD150-mediated viral entry has informed vaccine and antiviral research, underscoring its translational significance.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
