Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
- The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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 MHN4-2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an extracellular domain of Neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 4, also known as, Notch4 (or Notch 4 and Notch-4). Notch4 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Notch Receptor Family comprised of Notch1 through Notch4. Notch4 serves as a receptor for several ligands including Delta1, Jagged1, and Jagged2 that can be expressed on the same or different cells. Notch4 plays important roles in embryonic and postnatal development and cell fate determination by regulating cellular differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. After ligand binding, the Notch4 receptor is cleaved in its extracellular and transmembrane domains. The cleaved notch intracellular domain (NICD) dissociates from the membrane and translocates to the nucleus where it can act as a transcriptional activator of downstream target genes involved with cellular differentiation and other responses. Notch4 is expressed at high levels in the heart and by endothelial cells and by certain CD34-positive and CD34-negative human bone marrow cell subsets. It is over-expressed by cells in certain breast, colon, and lung cancers.
