Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: 28-16-8S
• Applications: FC
• Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry (See Protocols).
• Reactivities: Mouse
• Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgM
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: C3H.SW spleen
  Donor: C3H
  Fusion Partner: SP2/0Ag.14
• Specificity: Recognizes Mouse MHC class II I-Ab and cross reacts with I-Ad.
  This Monoclonal Antibody reacts with the I-Ab encoded MHC class II antigen expressed on Mouse strains of the H-2b haplotype. It also reacts with the I-Ad encoded MHC class II antigen expressed on Mouse strains of the H-2d haplotype. Class II antigens are most highly expressed on antigen presenting cells including B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and certain epithelial cells.
• Formulation: PBS containing 0.02% Sodium Azide as a preservative as a and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml
  Label: PE
  State: Liquid purified IgM fraction
• Concentration: 0.1 mg/ml
• Conjugation: PE
• 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 1x10e6 cells, representing 1 test).
  4. To each tube, add~0.2 µg of CL067R 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 ml of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).
  B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100 ml of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).
