DescriptionThe 37.51 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD28 molecule, a 45 kDa homodimer expressed by thymocytes, mature T cells and NK cells. CD28 is a ligand for CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) and is a potent costimulator of T cells. Signaling through CD28 augments IL-2 and IL-2 receptor expression as well as cytotoxicity of CD3-activated T cells. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The 37.51 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemical staining. 37.51 has also been reported in costimulation of T cells in vitro and in vivo. (Please use Functional Grade purified 37.51, cat. 16-0281, in functional assays.) Applications TestedThe 37.51 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocyte suspensions. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Note: It has been observed that increased incubations times (30-45 minutes) with the CD28 antibody can enhance the staining obtained. References
