Description

Mouse Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Alexa Fluor™ Plus recombinant antibodies are conjugated using new, proprietary dye chemistry so you can generate stunning data. Alexa Fluor™ Plus antibodies represent an advancement in fluorescent conjugate technology. Alexa Fluor™ Plus antibodies provide brighter signal compared to leading Alexa Fluor™ antibodies, providing you with better signal-to-noise for your critical experiments. These antibodies show better specificity and lot-to-lot consistency as these are recombinant antibodies, generated by cloning specific genes for the desired antibodies into an expression vector and expressed in vitro. Using conjugate solutions: Centrifuge the protein conjugate solution briefly in a microcentrifuge before use; add only the supernatant to the experiment. This step will help eliminate any protein aggregates that may have formed during storage, thereby reducing nonspecific background staining. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 494 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser.

The CD133 (AC133) antigen is a 97 kDa glycoprotein, with 5 transmembrane domains, that shows up as a 120 kDa band on protein gels due to glycosylation. CD133 is a cell surface marker expressed by immature hematopoietic stem cells but not mature blood cells. In addition to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, CD133 has been found to be a marker for other stem and progenitor cells including neural and embryonic stem cells. CD133 has been shown to be expressed in cancers, including some leukemias and brain tumors, that may be derived from stem cells. Low level expression could also be detected in the kidney, pancreas, placenta, and fetal liver. Mutations in this gene have been shown to result in retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease. Expression of the CD133 gene is also associated with several types of cancer. CD133 is expressed from at least five alternative promoters that are expressed in a tissue-dependent manner, and multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.
