Anti-Tetherin antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Tetherin antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the BST2 gene, which encodes bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2. This protein is known to function in innate immune responses, among other biological roles. The human version of Tetherin has a canonical amino acid length of 180 residues and a protein mass of 19.8 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane, Golgi, and cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include CD317, CD317, and HM1.24. Western Blot is a widely used application for the Tetherin antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
