Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: W3/13HLK
• Applications: FC
• Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry.
  Tissue Distribution by Flow Cytometry Analysis:
  Rat Strain: Wister Rat.
  Cell Concentration: 1x10e6 cells per test.
  Antibody Concentration Used: 0.5 μg/106 cells.
  Secondary Antibody: FITC Goat Anti-Mouse IgG.
  Cell Source: Percentage of cells stained above control
  Thymus: 100%
  Spleen: 33%
  Lymph Node: 58.9%
• Reactivities: Rat
• Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: Rat thymocyte membrane preparation.
• Specificity: This CD43 monoclonal antibody recognizes a monomorphic determinant expressed on Rat thymocytes, polymorphonuclear cells, plasma cells and stem cells, but not B lymphocytes or pre-B cells (1,3).
  This antibody is useful for labelling T but not B lymphocytes and in studies on stem cells since pre-B cells are not labelled while the multipotential stem cell is. It may also be used in analysis of NK cells (5) and in molecular studies of the sialoglycoprotein which it recognizes.
• Formulation: PBS containing 0.02% Sodium Azide as preservative and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml.
  Label: FITC
  State: Liquid purified IgG fraction
  Label: Fluorescein Isothiocyanate Isomer 1
• Concentration: 4-5 mg/ml
• Conjugation: FITC
• Background: The antigen is a heavily glycosylated glycoprotein of apparent molecular weight 95 kDa and has a high content of Olinked carbohydrate structures (3). This major glycoprotein of thymocytes and T lymphocytes is referred to by several names including leukocyte sialoglycoprotein and leukosialin. The carbohydrate structures of leukosialin account for approximately 60% of its weight (2). On thymocytes, this glycoprotein is the main target for binding of peanut lectin (4).
• Synonyms: Leukocyte sialoglycoprotein, Sialophorin, Galactoglycoprotein, SPN
