Anti-Mouse TCR Gamma/Delta (UC7-13D5) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin

Product Specifications

Background

The T cell receptor or TCR is a molecule found on the surface of T lymphocytes that is responsible for recognizing antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. It is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha and beta chain in 95% of T cells, while 5% of T cells have TCRs consisting of gamma and delta chains. Engagement of the TCR with antigen and MHC results in activation of its T lymphocyte through a series of biochemical events mediated by associated enzymes, co-receptors and specialized accessory molecules.

Storage Conditions

Anti-TCR gamma/delta In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (UC7-13D5) is stable for at least one week when stored sterile at 2-8°C. For long term storage aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at –20°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Specificity

The anti-mouse γ/δ T-cell receptor antibody reacts with all mouse TCR γ/δ heterodimers.

Formulation

0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl with no carrier protein, potassium or preservatives added.

Antigen Distribution

Gamma/delta TCR expression is observed on a subset of cells in the thymus, intestinal epithelium, skin, liver, peripheral lymphoid tissues, and peritoneum. The gamma/delta TCR is involved in the antigen recognition of some bacterial or tumor-associated antigens presented by MHC class I.

Aggregation

Aggregation level ≤ 5%

Applications Notes

In vivo Depletion: This Clone UC7-13D5 has been used for the depletion of TCR gamma/delta T cells in vivo Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
