BD, 551402, BD Pharmingen™ PE Mouse Anti-Rat CD45RA

Reactivity: Rat (QC Testing)
Isotype: Mouse BALB/c IgG1, κ
Immunogen: Leukocyte common antigen purified from rat splenocytes
Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested)
Concentration: 0.2 mg/ml
RRID: AB_394186
Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing ≤0.09% sodium azide.
Regulatory Status: RUO
Preparation And Storage: Preparation And Storage The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures We have observed that the staining intensity of OX-33 mAb is reduced after fixation of stained leukocytes (≤ 3 hours with 1% formaldehyde). Therefore, one should not fix the stained cells prior to flow cytometry. We have found that freshly-isolated leukocytes and cell lines may wait for analysis in wash buffer at 4°C, without fixation, for up to 18 hours post-staining without loss of viability. Activated lymphocytes may lose viability rapidly, and data should be collected within 5 hours post-staining.
