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

Description

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 # 12-5783-81) . Expression has been confirmed on C57BL/6 and NWNA but not Balb/c or DBA/2 mice. Other mice strains have not been tested. No crossreactivity to Ly-49A, C, D or G2 has been observed. Addition of monoclonal antibody 3D10 to cell cultures induces lysis of target cells. Applications Reported:This 3D10 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 3D10 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of C57Bl/6 spleen cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 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: 633-647 nm; Emission: 660 nm; Laser: Red Laser...
