CD11b/c, eFluor 660, clone: OX42, eBioscience™

Description

The principal use of this antibody is in the study of functional heterogeneity of macrophages; it may be used to follow macrophage differentiation and to investigate the function of the CD11b/c equivalent antigen.

Description: This OX42 monoclonal antibody reacts with rat CD11b and CD11c. CD11b, also known as integrin alpha M or Mac-1, is a component of complement receptor 3 (CR3). CD11c, also known as integrin alpha X, is a component of complement receptor 4 (CR4). CD11b and CD11c are expressed on immune cells such as macrophages, monocytes, granulocytes, and dendritic cells. OX42 has also been shown to detect microglia in the brain, as well as cells of the liver and epidermis.The OX42 antibody has been reported to inhibit complement-mediated rosette formation by granulocytes and macrophages. Moreover, studies demonstrate that OX42 can inhibit granulocyte aggregation.Applications Reported: This OX42 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: This OX42 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of rat splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.eFluor™ 660 is a replacement for Alexa Fluor™ 647. eFluor™ 660 emits at 659 nm and is excited with the red laser (633 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome.Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 668 nm; Laser: Red Laser.Filtration: 0.2μm post-manufacturing filtered.
