The gene encoding the mouse alloantigen, Ly-6C, maps to chromosome 15 and encodes a 131 amino acid protein that belongs to the Ly-6 family of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins. Ly-6 family members share amino acid homology throughout a distinctive cysteine rich protein domain that incorporates O-linked carbohydrates. Murine Ly-6 molecules have unique patterns of tissue expression during hematopoiesis from multipotential stem cells to lineage committed precursor cells, and on specific leukocyte subpopulations in the peripheral lymphoid tissues. Ly-6C is predominantly expressed on murine peripheral CD8 T cells. Ly-6C is involved in endothelial adhesion, the killing of target cells by CTLs, inducing TCR-mediated activation of IL-2 and IFN-γ production in CD8 T cells and the homing of CD8 T cells. In addition, Ly-6C may act as a signaling molecule of LFA-1 activation.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA722134) at 1/1,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
