It recognizes a ~90-95 kDa protein which is identified as cell surface transferrin receptor (CD71),a disulfide-bonded homodimeric glycoprotein of 180-190 kDa. This mAb is highly specific to CD71 and shows no cross-reaction with other related proteins. Ligand for transferrin receptor is the serum iron transport protein,transferrin. This receptor is broadly distributed in carcinomas,sarcomas,leukemias,and lymphomas. CD71/Transferrin receptor has been reported to be associated with cell proliferation in both normal and neoplastic tissues and useful in predicting clinical behavior or response to therapy in a number of malignancies including breast cancer.
