Preparation And Storage
The FITC and PE conjugates are each supplied in 1.0 mL of phosphate buffered saline containing gelatin and 0.1% sodium azide. Each lot is bottled at titer as determined by immunofluorescence staining of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. Please refer to the vial label for antibody concentration. The vial should be stored at 2° to 8°C. Conjugated forms should not be frozen and should be protected from prolonged exposure to light. Each reagent is stable for the period shown on the bottle label when stored as directed.
The CD26 antibody, clone L272, is derived from hybridization of mouse Sp2/0 cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with E1αPGF/JY cells.
CD26 recognizes a 120-kilodalton (kDa) antigen that is identical to the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP), a serine protease. It is associated with the binding of the TAT transactivating protein of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). CD26 and CD45 act in a co-stimulatory fashion on T lymphocytes.
