- Extra Details:
- Sialyl Lewis X, also known as sialyl LeX and SLeX, is a tetrasaccharide carbohydrate that is usually attached to O-glycans on the surface of cells. It is known to play a vital role in cell-to-cell recognition processes. Sialyl Lewis X is one of the most important blood group antigens and is displayed on the terminus of glycolipids that are present on the cell surface. The Sialyl Lewis X determinant, E-selectin ligand carbohydrate structure, is constitutively expressed on granulocytes and monocytes and mediates inflammatory extravasation of these cells. Resting T and B lymphocytes lack its expression and are induced to strongly express sialyl Lewis X upon activation. The Sialyl Lewis X determinant is expressed preferentially on activated Th1 cells but not on Th2 cells. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications have not been tested Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 5ul/10e6 cells in 100ul Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
