Invitrogen™ MHC Class II (I-A) Monoclonal Antibody (NIMR-4), PE, eBioscience™

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The monoclonal antibody NIMR-4 reacts specifically with a non-polymorphic I-A-encoded epitope on MHC Class II antigens. Class II antigens are predominantly expressed on antigen-presenting cells including B lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and certain epithelial cells. MHC Class II molecules are important for the selection of the TCR repertoire during the processes of positive and negative selection. MHC Class II expression is required for the positive selection of CD4+ T cells. Applications Reported: This NIMR-4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This NIMR-4 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can 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: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
