Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.

The 49-H4 antibody specifically binds to the ThB antigen (Ly-6D), a 15-kDa GPI-anchored protein of the Ly-6 Multigene Family. ThB has been detected on cortical thymocytes, small sIg- Thy-1- and sIg+ lymphoid cells in the bone marrow, thymic medullary epithelial cells, all epidermal layers (except the stratum corneum), and on peripheral B lymphocytes (but not peripheral T lymphocytes). There is strain-to-strain variation in ThB antigen expression on splenic B cells. Strains with the Ly-6.2 haplotype (e.g., AKR, C57BL, DBA/2, SJL, SWR) stain more intensely with anti-ThB reagents than Ly-6.1 strains (e.g., A, BALB/c, CBA, C3H/He, NZB); B cells of Ly-6.1 and Ly-6.2 hybrids stain with intermediate intensity. The proportion of ThB+ B cells to thymocytes do not differ significantly among strains.
