Questions? Please consult our answers to frequently asked questions at http://www.ebioscience.com/faq. DescriptionThe UC7-13D5 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse γδ TCR complex. γδ TCR is expressed by a small subset of T cells in the thymus, peripheral lymphoid tissues, intestinal epithelium, and epidermis. The exact specificity, ligand and function of γδ TCR-bearing T cells are not yet fully understood; it is suggested that these cells recognize bacterial ligands and some tumor cells in the context of MHC class I-like gene products and play a role in regulation of the immune response and during bacterial infection. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. UC7-13D5 has been reported for use as a phenotypic marker for γδ TCR-expressing T cells in flow cytometric analysis. Applications TestedThe UC7-13D5 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse thymocyte and splenocyte suspensions and can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 µg/million cells. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
