BD Pharmingen™ Dog T Lymphocyte Cocktail
(RUO)
Description
The Dog T Lymphocyte Cocktail is a three-color reagent cocktail designed to identify dog T lymphocytes by direct immunofluorescence staining with flow cytometric analysis. The LSM 1.140 antibody reacts with a CD8-like 32-35 kDa heterodimer. The CD8α and β chains (CD8a and CD8b, respectively) form a heterodimer on the surface of most thymocytes and a subpopuplation of mature T-lymphocytes (ie, MHC class I-restricted T cells, including most T suppressor/cytotoxic cells). The LSM 12.125 antibody reacts with the canine form of the 56 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, CD4, present on the T-helper/inducer subset of normal canine donor peripheral blood lymphocytes. The distribution on lymphocytes for canine is similar to that found for both human and monkey, with the majority of CD4-positive lymphocytes being CD8-negative and lacking reactivity with antibodies to B- or NK-cell markers. CD4 in the canine is also present on monocytes and granulocytes, but in higher numbers than what is seen for human. The LSM 8.358 antibody reacts with a CD3-like T-cell receptor-associated cell-surface antigen found on thymocytes and peripheral T lymphocytes. These monoclonals were generated by immunizing mice with freshly isolated canine thymocytes.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
