Preparation And Storage

The FITC and PE conjugates are each supplied in 1.0 mL of phosphate-buffered saline containing gelatin and 0.1% sodium azide. Each lot is bottled at titer as determined by immunofluorescence staining of lymphocytes in peripheral blood. You may wish to titrate the reagent for use in your specific application. Please refer to the vial label for antibody concentration. The vial should be stored at 2° to 8°C. Conjugated forms should not be frozen and should be protected from prolonged exposure to light. Each reagent is stable for the period shown on the bottle label when stored as directed.

L120

CD4 v4, clone L120, is derived from hybridization of mouse Sp2/0 cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human peripheral blood lymphocytes.

CD4 recognizes an antigen, approximately 59 kdaltons (kDa), that is present on the helper-inducer subset of T lymphocytes and monocytes. The CD4 antigen is involved in the class II recognition of foreign antigens and has been identified as a receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Clone L120 recognizes amino acids 306-370 of the antigen and does not block the binding of the gp120 of HIV, but inhibits the proliferation of CD4 T lymphocytes to class II antigens.

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.
