Invitrogen™ CD170 (Siglec F) Monoclonal Antibody (1RNM44N), Alexa Fluor™ 488, eBioscience™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This 1RNM44N monoclonal antibody recognizes mouse CD170, also known as Siglec F. Siglec F is a cell surface lectin belonging to the Ig superfamily that binds glycoconjugates containing sialic acids that are commonly found on various cell types. The cytoplasmic domain of Siglec F contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) that initiates intracellular signaling upon ligand binding. Siglec F is expressed mostly on eosinophils and alveolar macrophages and lower levels of this receptor have also been reported on immature myelomonocytic cells. Mouse Siglec F is a functional ortholog of human Siglec 8, however, unlike human Siglec 8, mouse Siglec F is not expressed on mast cells. This 1RNM44N antibody will recognize a formaldehyde-fixed epitope. Applications Reported: This 1RNM44N antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 1RNM44N antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages. This may be used at less than or equal to 0.25 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. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser.
