Catalogue

Background
Identification of human T cells and subset of NK cells associated with the receptor for sheep erythocytes rosettes expressing the 45-50,000 M.W. surface antigen.

Synonyms: T-cell surface antigen CD2; CD2 cytoplasmic domain-binding protein

Source

Immunogen: Derived from hybridization of mouse Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with T Lymphocytes activated by mixed lymphocyte culture.

Product

Product Form: FITC

Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide and 0.2% carrier protein

Purification Method: Protein A/G Chromatography

Concentration: Titered for flow cytometry

Applications
PBMC: Add10 µl of MAB/10 PBMC in 100 µl PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2 to 8°C. Wash twice with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. WHOLE BLOOD: Add10 µl of MAB/100 µl of whole blood. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature 20°C. Lyse the whole blood. Wash once with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. . See instrument manufacturer’s instructions for Lysed Whole Blood and Immunofluorescence analysis with a flow cytometer or microscope. ALLOPHYCOCYANIN: (APC) conjugates are analyzed in multi-color flow cytometry with instruments equipped with a second laser and proper filters. Laser excitation is at 633 nm with a Helium Neon (HeNe) laser or a 600-640 nm (633 nm) range for a Dye laser. Peak fluorescence emission is at 660 nm.
