SKU:: C2548-78B
Application:: Flow Cytometry
Purity:: Purified
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Mouse
Immunogen:: HUVEC
Clone:: 2Q401 (P1H12)
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.6, 15mg/ml BSA, 0.09% sodium azide. Labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
Extra Details:: The antibody positively stains normal, primary HUVEC and MVEC cultures and the endothelial cells of all vessels in normal frozen sections of human skin, intestine, ovary, tonsil, lymph node, lung and kidney. Does not stain carcinoma cell lines HT-29 and COLO205, and M21, the T cell lines Jurkat and HuT78, fibroblasts, HL-60 or CHO cells, or EBV-transformed B cell lines. It is expected that CD146 expression is present in many tumor lines. Does not stain normal monocytes, granulocytes, red cells, platelets, T cells or B cells from marrow or peripheral blood. Does not detect marrow megakaryocytes or the megakaryoblast line HU3. The peripheral blood cells that do stain also are positive for both von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and thrombomodulin (the combined expression of which is limited to endothelium). They stain for flt and flk. In recent testing, melanoma A2058, SKMEL.3 and A375.S2 are positive. Murine melanoma M3 is negative. One smooth muscle line (HISM) was positive and one negative (TIGHA-VSMC). Human blood lymphoctes are negative with or without prior stimulation. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 1-10ug/ml 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.
