Mouse anti Human CD38

CD38 antigen is an integral membrane glycoprotein, M.W. 45 kD. The CD38 antigen is present on approximately all pre-B lymphocytes, plasma cells and thymocytes. CD38 antigen is also expressed on activated T Lymphocytes, NK Cells, monocytes, myeloblasts and erythroblasts. CD38 is co-expressed on CD34+ cells,but is not expressed on pluripotent stem cells. CD38 antigen is present on T and B lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Burkitts' lymphoma, multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

PBMC: Add 10 µL of MAB/10^6 PBMC in 100 µL PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2º to 8ºC. Wash twice with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. WHOLE BLOOD: Add 10 µL of MAB/100 µL of whole blood. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature (20ºC). Lyse the whole blood. Wash once with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. See instrument manufacturer’s instructions for Lysed Whole Blood and Immunofluorescence analysis with a flow cytometer or microscope.
