Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: R17217.1.4
• Applications: FC
• Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry.
• Reactivities: Mouse
• Host: Rat
• Isotype: IgG2a
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Specificity: Anti-mouse CD71 antigen monoclonal antibody reacts with the transferrin receptor (CD71) that is expressed on activated leukocytes4. The expression of CD71 is up-regulated after B cell or T cell activation.

  Label: FITC
  State: Liquid purified Ig fraction
  Label: Fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer 1
• Concentration: 0,1 mg/ml
• Conjugation: FITC
• Gene Name: Mus musculus transferrin receptor (Tfrc)
• Database Link:
  Entrez Gene 22042 Mouse
• Synonyms: TfR1, p90, Transferrin receptor protein 1
• Note: Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS:
  Method:
  1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cell population with Lympholyte®-M cell separation medium.
  2. Wash 2 times.
  3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x10e7 cells/ml in media A. Add 50 μl of this suspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1 x 10e6 cells, representing 1 test).
  4. To each tube, add ~1.0 μg of this antibody per 10e6 cells.
  5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells.
  6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. (It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive.)
  7. Wash 2 times at 4°C.
  8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 μl ice cold media B.
  9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 μl of propidium iodide at 0.5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA.
  Media:
  A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide (100 μl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).
  B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100 μl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).
