Diagnostic Biosystems ALCIAN BLUE PH 25 Alcian Blue, pH 2.5
The Alcian Blue (pH 2.5) Stain Kit is intended for use in the histological visualization of sulfated and carboxylated acid mucopolysaccharides and sulfated and carboxylated sialomucins (glycoproteins).
Diagnostic Biosystems FLK-1 Flk-1/KDR/VEGFR2
This antibody reacts with a 180 kDa protein, known as Flk-1, KDR or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). Flk-1 is a cell membrane receptor kinase. Flk-1 is a high affinity receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor and is putatively involved in the growth of endothelial cells and angiogenesis.
Diagnostic Biosystems COLLAGEN IV Collagen Type IV
This antibody recognizes collagen type IV epitope located on the α1 and/or α 2 chains of human collagen type IV. This antibody shows no cross-reactivity with collagen types I, II, III, V, VI and VII and does not react with human vitronectin, fibronectin or chondroitin sulfate A, B and C.
Diagnostic Biosystems CD7 CD7 (CBC.37.80)
CD7 is expressed by most peripheral blood T cells, NK cells, and all thymocytes. It is one of the earliest surface antigens on T and NK-cell lineages. The antibody is a useful aid for classification of T-cell malignancies.
Diagnostic Biosystems HEMATOXYLIN Montage™ Hematoxylin
Hematoxylin is a histological staining reagent suitable for visualization of nuclei in tissue sections. Montage™ Hematoxylin, is designed for optimal performance when used together with the Montage 360™ System.\n\nDBS’s Hematoxylin is intended for use in the histologic demonstration of nuclear staining. This staining technique is used to make the critical distinction between a normal nucleus and an abnormal one.
Diagnostic Biosystems CD7 CD7 (CBC.37.80)
CD7 is expressed by most peripheral blood T cells, NK cells, and all thymocytes. It is one of the earliest surface antigens on T and NK-cell lineages. The antibody is a useful aid for classification of T-cell malignancies.
Diagnostic Biosystems IGM IgM
This antibody reacts with the heavy chain present in all types of human IgM. It stains B cell follicles in human lymphoid tissues. In lymphoid tissues, IgM containing plasma cells stain strongly but immune complexes are usually undetectable.
Diagnostic Biosystems C4C-FITC C4c Complement-FITC
This antibody reacts with human C4, C4b, and C4c but does not react with the C4d epitope. Traces of contaminating antibodies have been removed by solid phase absorption with human plasma proteins. This antibody is well suited for tissue section staining but may also be used for other applications.
Diagnostic Biosystems THROMBOSPONDIN Thrombospondin
This antibody is specific to 450 kDa (non-reduced) and 170 to 180 kD (reduced) form of thrombospondin. Thrombospondin is a protein from platelet α granules. It is secreted at sites of platelet activation and aggregation and is involved in the differentiation of leukocytes, fibroblasts, smooth muscle and endothelial cells.
Diagnostic Biosystems 10X CITRATE BUFFER PH 80 10X Citrate Buffer For Heat Induced Epitope Recovery, pH 8.0
10X Citrate Buffer For Heat Induced Epitope Recovery, pH 8.0 is designed for use during the heat induced epitope retrieval (HIER) step prior to immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections. The use of this buffer in combination with heat (often by microwave, water bath, or pressure cooker) has been shown to restore the antigenicity of\nproteins modified during the formalin fixation of tissue. This buffer is supplied as a 10X stock solution.
Diagnostic Biosystems High Contrast DAB (Liquid Format)
3,3'-Diaminobenzidine (DAB), is a widely used chromogen for immunoperoxidase staining, and is well accepted among pathologists because of its increased sensitivity and decreased background when compared to amino ethylcarbazole (AEC). Specimens stained with DAB can be dehydrated, cleared, and permanently mounted. High Contrast DAB is more sensitive and stable than traditional working DAB solutions. High Contrast DAB offers several noteworthy improvements and benefits as compared to traditional working DAB solutions. High Contrast DAB is highly sensitive, providing the cost-effective option of further diluting the primary antibody. Being stable for 2 weeks (as opposed to 6 hours for traditional DAB working solutions), High Contrast DAB allows the user the convenience of making one working solution for the entire week’s work. Hazardous waste generation from unused DAB solution is also significantly reduced.
Diagnostic Biosystems MGMT O(6)-Methylguanine-DNAMethyltransferase, MGMT
O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) is a 22 kDa human DNA repair protein that removes O(6)-alkylguanine DNA adducts. MGMT acts as a suicide acceptor protein repairing the DNA by accepting alkyl groups and consequently inactivating itself. This antibody stains all mantle zone lymphocytes and 50% of germinal center lymphocytes. Basaloid epithelial cells of tonsilsquamous mucosa are also stained positive with this antibody.
Diagnostic Biosystems CYTOKERATIN WIDE SPECTRUM Cytokeratin Wide Spectrum
This antibody reacts with cytokeratins of 58, 56, 52, 60, 51, 48 and 68 kDa MW. This antibody is well suited for the staining of a broad spectrum of human keratins.
Diagnostic Biosystems LBA1 Iba1 (AIF1)
Actin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. Enhances the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. Binds calcium. Plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis. AIF1 colocalizes with actin, and upon stimulation, translocates to lamellipodia. It is also a marker of human microglia and is expressed by macrophages in injured skeletal muscle. The gene encoding AIF1 resides in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cluster of genes, located in the region represented by the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC).\n
