Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This monoclonal antibody reacts with human Multidrug Resistant (MDR)-1, which is also known as P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and CD243. A 170-kDa transmembrane protein, MDR-1 is an ATP-dependent efflux pump for lipophilic compounds, including anti-cancer drugs. Expression of MDR-1 has been shown to correlate with multidrug resistance. In fact, tumor resistance to chemotherapy has been linked to MDR-1 expression in many cancers. MDR-1 is expressed in a variety of tissues, including the brain, kidney, liver, pancreas, and testes. Within the immune system, this molecule can be found on normal T, B, and natural killer cells, but not on monocytes. This antibody has been reported to inhibit MDR1-mediated efflux. Applications Reported: This UIC2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This UIC2 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis on multidrug resistant cell lines. This can be used at 5 μL (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 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 can be used in place of PE-Cy5, PE-Cy5.5 or PerCP-Cy5.5. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome. For a filter configuration, we recommend u...

The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump for xenobiotic compounds with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.
