Invitrogen™ Ly-6C Monoclonal Antibody (HK1.4), PerCP-Cyanine5.5, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The monoclonal antibody HK1.4 recognizes mouse Ly-6C, a GPI-linked protein of the Ly6 family. Ly-6C is found on monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells and granulocytes as well as a subset of lymphocytes. Some variation of expression is found on different mouse strains in regards to expression on CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes. These correlate to 2 alleles both of which are recognized by HK1.4: Ly6c.1 found on C57Bl/6 and SJL cells which results in staining of both CD4 and CD8 cells while Ly6-C.2 found on BALB/c and 3H/He results in staining of CD8, but not CD4 cells. In vitro addition with HK1.4 antibody can increase proliferation and stimulate cytokine release. Applications Reported: This HK1.4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This HK1.4 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 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: 695 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
