SKU:: 214583-APC
Purity:: Purified by Protein G affinity chromatography from tissue culture supernatant.
Storage Conditions:: 4°C Do Not Freeze
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Hamster
Immunogen:: Extracellular portion of mouse CD152 fused to a mouse IgG2a.
Clone:: 1B8
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. Labeled with Allophycocyanin (APC).
Extra Details:: CD152, commonly known as CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4), a structural homolog for CD28. CD152 binds the same ligands as CD28, namely CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2), but with much higher affinity. However, while binding of CD28 enhances T cell function, binding of CD152 inhibits it. CD152 is not detected on naïve Tcells and is induced upon Tcell activation. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry, FLISA, Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: APC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
