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 14-4-4S monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the I-E[k] MHC class II alloantigen. It crossreacts with cells from mice of the H-2[d], H-2[p], and H-2[r] haplotypes. Cells from mice of the H-2[b], H-2[f], H-2[g7], H-2[q], and H-2[s] haplotypes do not express I-E antigen. It has been reported that mAb 14-4-4S crossreacts with the rat MHC class II antigen RT1D.
This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
