FITC Mouse Anti-Rat CD28
FITC Mouse Anti-Rat CD28
Flow cytometric analysis of CD28 expression on rat thymocytes. Thymocytes were stained with PE Mouse Anti-Rat CD3 (Cat. No. 554833) alone (Left Panel) or costained with FITC Mouse Anti-Rat CD28 (Cat. No. 550973; Right Panel). Two-color contour plots were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scattering characteristics of intact thymocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ system.

Preparation And Storage

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

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  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.
  4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

JJ319

The JJ319 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD28, which is expressed on virtually all T lymphocytes bearing αβ T-cell receptors (TCR), on most γδ TCR-bearing T cells, and on a subset of NK cells. In the thymus, CD28 expression is developmentally regulated during the maturation of αβ TCR-bearing T cells. CD28 is a costimulatory receptor required for activation of T cells; its ligands include CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2). Soluble JJ319 mAb costimulates the proliferative responses and IL-2 production of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells activated by anti-αβ-TCR mAb R73 (Cat. no. 554910). The alternate anti-rat CD28 mAb JJ316 (Cat. No. 554992) is capable of directly stimulating T cells in vitro and in vivo.

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.
