Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

- Although hamster immunoglobulin isotypes have not been well defined, BD Biosciences Pharmingen has grouped Armenian and Syrian hamster IgG monoclonal antibodies according to their reactivity with a panel of mouse anti-hamster IgG mAbs. A table of the hamster IgG groups, Reactivity of Mouse Anti-Hamster Ig mAbs, may be viewed at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/documents/hamster_chart_11x17.pdf.
- 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 GL2 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with Vδ 4 T-cell Receptor (TCR)-bearing T cells, which are the predominant γδ TCR-bearing cells in the adult intestinal epithelium (γδ IEL). The frequency of Vδ 4 TCR-bearing γδ IEL differs among inbred strains of mice and may be influenced by haplotypes of the MHC, Tcrg, and/or Tcrd gene complexes. There is evidence that these γδ IEL develop in the absence of thymic influence. T lymphocytes expressing Vδ 4 TCR have also been found in lactating mammary glands, the spleen, and the thymus.
