{"product_id":"biolegend-285123","title":"Biolegend, 285123, Spark Blue™ 574 anti-human CD326 (Ep-CAM) (Flexi-Fluor™) Antibody, 50μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eCD326 is also known as Ep-CAM, tumor associated calcium signal transducer 1, epithelial cell surface antigen, epithelial glycoprotein 2, EGP2, adenocarcinoma associated antigen, and TROP1. CD326 is a type I transmembrane protein containing six disulfide bridges and one THYRO domain. This cell surface glycosylated 40 kD protein is highly expressed in bone marrow, colon, lung, and most normal epithelial cells and is expressed on carcinomas of gastrointestinal origin. Recently, it has been reported that CD326 expression occurs during the early steps of erythrogenesis. CD326 functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule and is believed to be involved in carcinogenesis by its ability to induce genes involved in cellular metabolism and proliferation. CD326 antigen is an immunotherapeutic target for the treatment of human carcinomas.\u003cbr\u003e\n50μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: DU.4475 breast carcinoma\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with Spark Blue™ 574 under optimal conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.2 mg\/mL\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: FC\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Flexi-Fluors™ are provided at a standard 0.2 mg\/mL concentration. We recommend titrating this reagent to determine the optimal concentration for each application. For many flow cytometry applications, conjugated antibodies perform well at concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µL. We recommend testing a range of concentrations starting from 10 µg\/mL.For example, make five 1:1 serial dilutions of the 0.2 mg\/mL antibody. Add 5 µL of each dilution (including the undiluted antibody) to 100 µL of cells (at 107 cells\/mL) to test six concentrations -- 1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.06, and 0.03 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. Compare staining patterns or create a titration curve using the MFI or staining index to determine the optimal concentration. * Spark Blue™ 574 has a maximum excitation of 506 nm and a maximum emission of 574 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nExcitation Laser: Blue Laser (488 nm)\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication Notes: Additional reported applications (for the revelant formats) include: immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry3, and spatial biology (IBEX)4,5.\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditional Product Notes: For more information about Flexi-Fluors™, visit our Flexi-Fluor™ page and review FAQs associated with this product line.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication References(PubMed link indicates BioLegend citation): Lammers R, et al. 2002.

The technology, manufacturing processes, and specifications used to create Flexi-Fluors are the same as our regular catalog products. However, the optimal concentration and performance of each Flexi-Fluor must be determined by the customer.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: How quickly will I receive my order?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: We aim to ship Flexi-Fluors within 2-3 weeks of receipt of your order. However, depending on your location, shipping times may vary.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: How are Flexi-Fluors different from regular catalog products?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Flexi-Fluors are made on demand, specifically for you. Flexi-Fluors are manufactured using the same high-quality standards, and specifications as other catalog products. For faster delivery, Flexi-Fluors are not tested by flow cytometry to determine optimal concentrations or evaluate performance. This testing needs to be performed by the customer.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: How do I determine the optimal concentration for using my Flexi-Fluor? How should I titrate my antibody?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Flexi-Fluors are provided at a standard 0.2 mg\/mL concentration. We recommend that you titrate your antibody to determine the optimal concentration to use for your application. For many flow cytometry applications, conjugated antibodies perform well at concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. We recommend that you test a range of concentrations starting from 10 µg\/mL. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, make five 1:1 serial dilutions of your 0.2 mg\/mL antibody.  Add 5 µL of each dilution (including the undiluted antibody) to 100 µL of cells (at 107 cells\/ml) to test six concentrations - 1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.06, and 0.03 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume.
