FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD26

BD Pharmingen™ FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD26

Name: FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD26
Brand: BD Pharmingen™
SKU: 559652

Clone H194-112

(RUO)

Two-color analysis of the expression of CD26 on mouse thymocytes. A single-cell suspension of C57BL/6 thymus was simultaneously stained with PE-conjugated RM4-5 (anti-mouse CD4, Cat. no. 553048/553049, both panels), PE-conjugated 53-5.8 (anti-mouse CD8b.2, Cat. no. 553041, both panels), and FITC-conjugated H194-112 (Right panel) monoclonal antibodies. Flow cytometry was performed on a FACScanª (BDIS, San Jose, CA).

Antibody Details

H194-112

The H194-112 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD26, which is also known as, Thymocyte-activating molecule (THAM), or dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV, Dpp4). CD26 is a ~220- kDa dimer formed of identical type-II transmembrane core polypeptides which undergo variable post-translational modifications. It is a multi-functional molecule with both ectopeptidase and signal-transducing activities. Studies with specific DPP IV inhibitors suggest that the enzymatic activity is involved in the mediation of T-cell activation events. The expression of CD26 is developmentally regulated in the thymus. Resting lymphoid cells of the bone marrow and peripheral B and T lymphocytes express low levels of CD26; bone-marrow and peritoneal myeloid cells do not. CD26 is also found on epithelial cells in the kidney, liver, small intestine, and lung. Cross-linked H194-112 mAb induces proliferation of immature and mature thymocytes in the presence of either IL-1 plus IL-2 or PMA; addition of IL-2 or IL-4 to PMA further enhances the activation.

Format Details

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.

Format: FITC

Excitation Source: Blue 488 nm
