Dendritic Cell Marker DCIR2 Monoclonal Antibody (33D1), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Beschreibung

Description: The 33D1 monoclonal antibody reacts with a mouse dendritic cell (DC)-specific surface marker, DCIR2. The nature and biological activity of DCIR2 is unknown. DCIR2 has been reported on a variety of dendritic cell subpopulations from mouse thymus, spleen, lymph node, and Peyer's patch. Bone marrow dendritic cells require GM-CSF to express DCIR2, and this expression is downregulated in the presence of IL-4. DCIR2 has been detected in vivo in brain dendritic cells post infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Applications Reported: This 33D1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunohistology staining of frozen tissue sections, and immunohistochemical staining. It has also been reported in complement-mediated cytotoxicity. Applications Tested: The 33D1 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. For detection of purified 33D1 it is recommended not to use goat anti-rat due to its low affinity for 33D1. Rather, we recommend using biotin mouse anti-rat (cat. 13-4813).

Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
