Flow Cytometry Product Notes: Test Sizes: To accommodate multicolor flow cytometry, eBioscience is in the process of reducing test size volumes from 20 µl to 5 µl. Please check your antibody vial for the recommended test size. Fluorochrome Replacements: eBioscience is in the process of replacing all Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated products with eFluor® 660 conjugated products.
Description
The eBioKMC8 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD9, a 24 kDa member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily. This family is characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains spanning the cell membrane and short N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic domains. CD9 is expressed by several cell types including monocytes, macrophages, platelets, early B cells, activated B and T cells, dendritic cells, eosinophils, basophils, endothelial cells, myoblasts and neuroblasts. On T cells, CD9 functions as a co-stimulatory molecule on naļve T cells. Furthermore, CD9 is expressed in oocytes, and CD9-deficiency results in sterility caused by defective gamete fusion. In mouse macrophages, CD9 functionally associates with FcγRs to modify signals for phagocytosis and inflammatory responses. In mouse B cells, it was discovered that CD9 is a marker for marginal zone B cells, B1 cells, and plasma cells. In dendritic cells, recently it was demonstrated that CD9 facilitates the association of heterologous MHC II molecules. The level of CD9 expression is subject to donor variability.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioKMC8 (KMC8) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested
This eBioKMC8 (KMC8) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes and bone marrow. 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 105 to 108 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
