BD, 561476, Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Pig CD3ε BB23-8E6-8C8

The BB23-8E6-8C8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the 25-kDa ε chain of the T-cell receptor-associated CD3 complex. It recognizes all CD4+ and most CD8+ peripheral blood T lymphocytes, most thymocytes and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated blasts, and subsets of spleen and Peyer's patch lymphocytes. BB23-8E6-8C8 is a immunoglobulin isotype switch variant of the BB23-8E6 clone. This isotype-switch variant induces a proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The epitope recognized by BB23-8E6 mAb was designated CD3a by the Second International Swine CD Workshop.

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was 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.
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
