CD45RO Antibody [UCHL-1]

This antibody recognizes a 180-185kDa protein, identified as isoform of leukocyte common antigen (CD45) called CD45RO (4th Leucocyte Typing Workshop: Code No. N31) . The epitope recognized by this antibody is sensitive to neuraminidase digestion. CD45RO is found on mature activated T-cells, most thymocytes, and a sub-population of resting T-cells within both CD4 and CD8 subsets. The CD45RO antibody shows no reactivity with normal B or natural killer cells, but reacts with granulocytes and monocytes. Reportedly, antibody to CD45RO is useful to identify T-cell lymphomas and leukemias. It rarely stains NK cells or B-cell lymphomas.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. 2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
