Application
Detect CD19 using this Anti-Human B cells (CD19) Antibody, clone FMC63, Phycoerythrin conjugated validated for use in FC.
Research Category
Inflammation & Immunology
Research Sub Category
Immunoglobulins & Immunology
This antibody is useful for enumerating normal B lymphocytes and typing B cell malignancies by flow cytometry.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Flow cytometry - use 10 μl direct from the vial per 100 μl of whole blood, or 1 x 10E(6) peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 100 μl buffer.
Biochem/physiol Actions
This specificity of this antibody is equivalent to that of CD19 monoclonal antibodies (Zola et al., 1988, 1989), based on comparative studies, antigen recognition and positive reaction with a CD19 transfected cell line. It detects a 96 kD single chain glycoprotein on the surface of human B lineage cells, including pre-B cells. B cells can be detected in peripheral blood and tissues. The antibody reacts with most B cell malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia and most lymphomas, but not multiple myeloma.
Cell reactivity:
Normal:Stains all B lymphocytes in peripheral blood and spleen. Negative on granulocytes, monocytes, platelets, erythrocytes and T lymphocytes.
Clinical:
B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) +
Pro lymphocytic leukemia (PLL +
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) +
Common acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CALL) +
Pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B-ALL) +
NULL-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (NULL-ALL) +
T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) -
T-common lymphocytic leukemia (T-CLL -
Physical form
Purified from mouse ascitic fluid. R-Phycoerythrin conjugated. The antibody is supplied in 1.0ml PBS 0.01M, Sodium Azide 0.1%, pH 7.1, 0.2% BSA. The characteristics of each lot are tested by electrophoresis and flow cytometry.
Preparation Note
Store at 2 to 8°C, for up to 6 months. DO NOT FREEZE. Protect from light.
WARNING: The monoclonal reagent solution contains 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative. Due to potential hazards arising from the build up of this material in pipes, spent reagent should be disposed of with liberal volumes of water.
