AC145 recognizes human CD123, also known as IL-3 receptor alpha-chain. It is the primary low-affinity subunit of the IL-3 receptor. CD123 associates with CD131, the common beta-chain of the IL-3, IL-5, and GM-CSF receptor, to form the high-affinity IL-3 receptor. The IL-3 receptor is involved in cell signaling for cell growth and differentiation. In peripheral blood, the CD123 antigen is expressed at high levels only on plasmacytoid dendritic cells and basophilic granulocytes but at low levels also on monocytes, eosinophilic granulocytes, myeloid dendritic cells, and subsets of hematopoietic progenitor cells.
