Ly-6G and Ly-6C Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: RB6-8C5, BD

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 563299

Catalog No. BDB563299

Description

The RB6-8C5 antibody reacts with a common epitope on Ly-6G and Ly-6C, previously known as the myeloid differentiation antigen Gr-1. In the bone marrow, the level of antigen expression is directly correlated with granulocyte differentiation and maturation. The antigen is also expressed on the monocyte lineage in the bone marrow, but not on erythroid cells. In the periphery, RB6-8C5 antibody recognizes granulocytes (neutrophils and eosinophils) and monocytes. The RB6-8C5 mAb is a component of the “lineage cocktail” used in studies of hematopoietic lineages. The mAb 1A8 (Cat. No. 551461) specifically recognizes Ly-6G, but not Ly-6C.

Based on the comparison of the staining patterns of mAbs clones 1A8 and RB6-8C5 on total blood leukocytes, it is evident that mAb 1A8 stains the RB6-8C5-bright population, corresponding to Ly-6G-expressing granulocytes; whereas, the RB6-8C5-dim population is 1A8-negative and corresponds to Ly-6C-expressing lymphocytes and monocytes. Please refer to the Technical Data Sheets for Cat. No. 551459 and 553128 for more detailed information.

For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
