Purified Mouse Anti-Rat CD3
Purified Mouse Anti-Rat CD3
Flow cytometric analysis of the expression of CD3e on spleen and thymus. LOU splenocytes were simultaneously stained with PE Mouse Anti-Rat CD4 (Cat. No. 554838; left panels), PE Mouse Anti-Rat CD8a (Cat. No. 559976/554857; left panels) and Purified Mouse Anti-Rat CD3 (Cat. No. 554830/550295/559974; bottom left panel) monoclonal antibodies, followed by FITC Rat Anti-Mouse IgG3 (Cat. No. 553403, left panels). Please note that Cd3- CD4+ monocytes and CD3- CD8a+ NK cells may be found in the rat spleen. LOU thymocytes were stained with Purified Mouse Anti-Rat CD3 (bottom right panel), followed by FITC Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 554001, right panels). The fluorescence contour plots/histograms were derived from gated events based on the light-scattering characteristics of viable cells. .Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Recommended Assay Procedures

For IHC, we recommend the use of Purified Mouse Anti-Rat CD3 (Cat. No. 550295) in our special formulation for immunohistochemistry .

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
  4. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

G4.18

The G4.18 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the T-cell receptor-associated CD3 cell-surface antigen found on thymocytes, peripheral T lymphocytes, and dendritic epidermal T cells. It has been reported that CD3 expression is down-regulated within 24 hours in concanavalin A-stimulated rat T cells, and soluble mAb inhibits the allogeneic mixed-lymphocyte proliferative response and cell-mediated cytotoxicity to allogeneic target cells. In vivo treatment with G4.18 mAb prevents cardiac and skin allograft rejection, resulting in donor-specific tolerance. Pre-incubation of splenocytes with the alternate anti-rat CD3 monoclonal antibody, 1F4, blocks staining with mAb G4.18.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
