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 Pacific Blue® and APC-Alexa Fluor® 750 conjugated products with eFluor™ 450 and APC-eFluor™ 780 conjugated products, respectively.
Description
This HMJ1-29 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse Jagged-1, one of five type I transmembrane proteins that serves as a Notch receptor ligand. Upon binding the Notch receptor (e.g. Notch 1-4), Jagged-1 undergoes proteolytic cleavage, first by ADAM-family metalloproteases and then by γ-secretase. The second cleavage event releases an intracellular fragment whose biological function remains controversial. Jagged-1 is expressed by thymic lymphoid and stromal cells, as well as macrophages and CD8+CD11c+ dendritic cells in the spleen.
This monoclonal antibody has been reported to have neutralizing activity.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This HMD1-5 antibody has been reported for use in functional assays.
Applications Tested
This HMJ1-29 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of Jagged-1-transfected CHO cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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.
