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
This SF1-1.1.1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the H-2Kd MHC class I alloantigen. H-2Kd is involved in antigen presentation to T cells expressing CD3/TCR and CD8. Reactivity to other haplotypes (e.g. b, j, k, p, q, s, and v) has not been observed.
This monoclonal antibody has been reported to block CD8 involvement in TCR-ligand binding.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This SF1-1.1.1 antibody has been reported for use in functional assays.
Applications Tested
This SF1-1.1.1 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 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.
