Anti-CD1c (PE)

The human CD1 genetic locus consists of five closely related genes. Three of the gene products (CD1a, CD1b and CD1c) have been officially clustered using antibodies and are expressed on cortical thymocytes, a subset of B cells, and on most professional antigen presenting cells. CD1 molecules have a specialized lipid antigen-presenting function and it is unlikely that they present conventional peptide antigens. CD1 may also be involved in costimulation. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 1:50, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Ratio (A565/A280): 3.04, Flow Cytometry Protocol: 1. Five x 10e5 cultured MOLT-4 cells were washed and incubated 45 minutes on ice with 80ul of C2252-03H at a 1:50 dilution factor (5ug/ml)., 2. Cells were washed three times, fixed and analyzed by FACS with a lymphocyte gate., 3. Cells stained positive with a mean shift of 1.03 log10 fluorescent units when compared to a Mouse IgG1/R-PE negative control at a similar concentration. , 4. Binding was blocked when cells were preincubated 10 minutes with 20ul of 0.5mg/ml of C2252-03Y. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for 12 months after receipt at 4°C. Freezing R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. PE conjugates are sensitive to light.
