FITC Rat Anti-Mouse T- and B-Cell Activation Antigen
FITC Rat Anti-Mouse T- and B-Cell Activation Antigen
Flow cytometric analysis for T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen in activated mouse spleen cells. Concanavalin A-stimulated (3 days) mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with either FITC Rat IgM, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 553942; dashed line histogram) or with the FITC Rat Anti-Mouse T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen antibody (Cat No. 553666/562080; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histograms were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphoblasts. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with FITC under optimum conditions, and unreacted FITC was removed.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  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. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  5. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

GL7

The GL7 antibody specifically recognizes the T- and B- Cell Activation Antigen which is also known as, the GL7 antigen. The GL7 antigen is a 35-kDa cell-surface protein that is expressed on T and B lymphocytes activated in vitro, on bone marrow Pre-B-II cells, germinal-center B cells, and the subpopulation of thymocytes that coexpress high CD3e levels.  The GL7 antibody recognizes an epitope containing nonsulfated α2-6-sialyl-LacNAc. There is strain variability with respect to GL7 antigen distribution on thymocytes and Con A-activated spleen cells. GL7 antigen expression is found to be higher on BALB/c mouse leucocytes than on C57BL/6 mouse counterparts. The GL7 antibody reportedly may crossreact with epitopes on molecules expressed by certain rat and human leucocyte subsets.

FITC
Fluorescein (FITC) is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 518-nm. FITC is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520 nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
