BD, 557030, APC Mouse Anti-Rat CD3 1F4

The 1F4 antibody reacts with the T-cell receptor-associated CD3 cell-surface antigen found on thymocytes, peripheral T lymphocytes, and dendritic epidermal T cells. In vitro, immobilized 1F4 mAb induces T-cell proliferation, and soluble mAb synergizes with PMA for T-cell activation. Pre-incubation of splenocytes with mAb 1F4 blocks staining with mAb G4.18 (Cat. No. 559974/554830).
The APC fluorochrome is excited by laser lines from 595 to 647 nm, and its emission is collected in a detector for fluorescence wavelengths between 640 and 680 nm.
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to APC under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free APC were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
