Invitrogen™ Ly-49H Monoclonal Antibody (3D10), APC, eBioscience™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The monoclonal antibody 3D10 recognizes Ly-49H, a member of the C-type lectin Ly-49 multigene family of receptors found on natural killer cells. Ly-49H, like Ly-49D, lacks the characteristic ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif) and contains an arginine in the transmembrane domain implying these molecules act as activation receptors. Ly-49H is expressed in a subset of NK cells but not NKT (NK1.1CD3+) cells. Natural killer cells can express several Ly-49 proteins. It has been shown that there is preferential staining of Ly-49H with Ly-49D (Product # 00-5523-00) and protocol. Please see BestProtocols® Section (Staining intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry) for staining protocol (refer to Protocol B: One-step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins). This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 520 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
