Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Immunohistochemistry: The RB40.34 antibody is recommended to test for immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections. Tissues tested were mouse spleen and thymus. The antibody stains thymocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes. The isotype control recommended for use with this antibody is purified rat IgG1 (Cat. No. 553993). For optimal indirect immunohistochemical staining, the RB40.34 antibody should be titrated (1-10 to 1-50 dilution) and visualized via a three-step staining procedure in combination with biotonylated polyclonal anti-rat Igs (multiple adsorbed) (Cat. No. 559286) as the secondary antibody and Streptavidin-HRP (Cat. No. 550946) together with the DAB detection system (Cat. No. 550880). The clone RB40.34 is not recommended for formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections.
A detailed protocol of the immunohistochemical procedure is available at our website, http://www.bdbiosciences.com/support/resources
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- This antibody has been developed for the immunohistochemistry application. However, a routine immunohistochemistry test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance.

Companion Products
The RB40.34 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse P-selectin (CD62P), a 140 kDa protein which is expressed on activated platelets, activated endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes. P-selectin mediates the adhesion of neutrophils and monocytes to activated platelets and endothelial cells, mediates leukocyte rolling, and is involved in the migration of leukocytes into inflamed tissues. CD24 and CD162 (PSGL-1) are ligands of CD62P. mAb RB40.34 can block mouse P-selectin binding to its ligands in vitro and in vivo.
