The monoclonal antibody 103-A1 recognizes mouse nectin-3. Nectin-3 is a 83 kDa type I
transmembrane glycoprotein. Nectin, originally isolated as poliovirus receptor-related protein (PRR), is
a cell-cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin supergene family. Nectins are calciumindependent
immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecules consisting of four members, nectin 1-4.
Nectins homophilically and heterophilically trans-interact to form a variety of cell-cell junctions,
including cadherin-based adherens junctions in epithelial cells and fibroblasts in culture, synaptic
junctions in neurons, and Sertoli cell-spermatid junctions in testis, in cooperation with, or
independently of, cadherins. Both nectin-2 and nectin-3 are ubiquitously expressed, whereas nectin-1
is abundantly expressed in brain. Nectin-2 and -3 are expressed in cells where cadherin is not
expressed, such as blood cells and spermatids. All members of the nectin family have two or three
splice variants. For nectin-3, three isoforms exist: nectin-3α, -3β and -3g of which nectin-3α is the
largest. Nectin-3, also known as PRR3, is a transmembrane protein that is predominantly expressed
in testis and placental tissues as well in many cell lines. Nectin interacts in vivo with both long and
short isoforms of afadin, an actin binding protein, at cadherin-based cell-cell adherence junctions in
various tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, the ectodomains of nectin-3 and CD155 (Poliovirus
Receptor) have shown strong affinity to each other.
Injection of antibody 103-A1 into lumen of seminiferous tubules leads to disruption of the actin
filaments in Sertoli cells at the Sertoli-maturing spermatid ectoplasmic specialization and exfoliation of
maturing spermatids form the seminiferous epithelium.

Application
Flow cytometry, Frozen sections, Functional studies, Immuno assays, Immuno fluorescence

Application Notes
IF: fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde in PBS optionally followed by methanol/aceton fixation (Ref 2-7).
FC: 1 μg per 1 x 106 cells.
FS: injection of 1 μg into lumen of seminiferous tubules.

    Our colleague Erik Toonen shared his experience on how to analyze complement at the Complement-based Drug Development Summit in Boston in September 11-13th, 2023. He showed valuable insights on analyzing complements. For accurate complement analysis, it is important that not only the correct technique is used but also that pre-analytical sample handling is performed in… Read more: Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysis
  • NEW Human C3d ELISA
    We are happy to introduce our new ELISA (cat.# HK3017) designed to detect human C3d. What sets this assay apart is its utilization of a distinctive neo-epitope capture antibody that selectively targets a specific C3d region of the alpha chain, which is not available in other C3 variants. This way it specifically distinguishes C3d from native C3… Read more: NEW Human C3d ELISA
