Description

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The monoclonal antibody eBio440c recognizes Siglec-H, a protein exclusively found on pDC (plasmacytoid dendritic cells) or type I IFN-producing cells (IPC) in the naive mouse. Mouse IPC are typically PDCA+, CD11c+, CD11b-, B220+, and Ly-6C+, and are quick to respond to viruses. Siglec-H is a transmembrane protein of the Ig superfamily that like CD33 have been shown to bind sialic acid but lacks the characteristic cytoplasmic ITIM domain (immunoreceptor tyrosine based inhibitory motif). To overcome the lack of a cytoplasmic domain, Siglec-H associates with DAP12 thereby allowing for signal transduction. The eBio440c antibody has been shown to inhibit pDC function (inhbits IFNalpha secretion in response to CpG). It has been observed that some mouse strains (such as SJL) have higher percentages of pDCs compared to C57BL/6. Applications Reported: This eBio440c antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This eBio440c antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. 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 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
