About InVivoSIM anti-human CD38 (Daratumumab Biosimilar) This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Daratumumab making it ideal for research use. The Daratumumab biosimilar antibody reacts with human CD38 a 42 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein. CD38 is expressed on immature and mature resting and activated B cells as well as NK cells and a subset of T cells. CD38 expression is down-regulated on mouse germinal center B cells and plasma cells. CD38 is a multifunctional protein involved in NAD homeostasis and in the generation of the second messengers ADPR and cyclic ADPR which are involved in intracellular calcium signaling. Antibodies against CD38 have been shown to be highly efficacious in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
