FITC Rat Anti-Mouse Vα 3.2[b,c] TCR
Two-color analysis of the expression of Vα 3.2b,c TCR on peripheral lymphocytes. C57BL/6 lymph node leukocytes were simultaneuosly stained with FITC-conjugated RR3-16, PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD4 RM4-5 (Cat. No. 553048/553049), and PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD8a 53-6.7 (Cat. No. 553032/553033) monoclonal antibodies. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage

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. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

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.

RR3-16

The RR3-16 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with the Vα 3.2 T-Cell Receptor (TCR) of mice having the b (e.g., C57BL) and c (e.g., SWR, SJL, NZB, NOD) haplotypes of the Tcra gene complex, but not with TCR encoded by other members of Tcra-V3 gene subfamily. RR3-16 antibody does not react with strains having the a (e.g., A, AKR, BALB/c, CBA, C3H/He) or d (e.g., DBA/1, DBA/2, NZW) Tcra haplotypes. In addition, it has been shown that frequencies of Vα 3.2+ CD8+ T cells from homozygous H-2k/H-2k mice are moderately higher than those from heterozygous H-2k/H-2d mice, suggesting positive selection by H-2k.

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.

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.
