BD, 563674, Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD62P RB40.34

The RB40.34 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse P-selectin (CD62P), a 140 kDa protein which is expressed on activated platelets, activated endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes. P-selectin mediates the adhesion of neutrophils and monocytes to activated platelets and endothelial cells, mediates leukocyte rolling, and is involved in the migration of leukocytes into inflamed tissues. CD24 and CD162 (PSGL-1) are ligands of CD62P. mAb RB40.34 can block mouse P-selectin binding to its ligands in vitro and in vivo.

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. 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.
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.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
