Invitrogen™ CD131 Monoclonal Antibody (1C1), Biotin, eBioscience™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The 1C1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the human CD131 molecule, also known as the common beta subunit (betaC). The common beta subunit associates with the specific alpha subunits of IL-3 receptor, IL-5 receptor and GM-CSF receptor to form high affinity receptors for these cytokines. These cytokine receptors are expressed by neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and hematopoietic progenitor cells and play a crucial role in growth/activation of eosinophils and in the inflammatory response. Applications Reported: This 1C1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 1C1 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
