Mouse anti T-Cell Receptor gamma delta

Two types of T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) are now known, the α/β, and the γ/δ heterodimer, which are expressed at the cell surface in association with the CD3 molecular complex. TCR-γ can occur in either disulphide-linked or non-disulphide-linked forms. The γ/δ T-cell receptor is present on a minor subset of T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, thymus, spleen, and lymph node. In man and Mouse, only a small part of the T lymphocytes of the peripheral blood (,lt;5%) is γ/δ. γ/δ T lymphocytes may complement α/β T cells in terms of antigenic specificities, functional capabilities, or sites of action within the body.

11F2 (anti-TCR gamma delta-l) is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a Balb/c mice immunized with protein A-Sepharose/anti-CD3/antigen complex.

11F2 is useful for Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assays, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections and Immunoprecipitation. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration.

This product is intended FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY, and FOR TESTS IN VITRO, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving Humans or animals. This product contains sodium azide. To prevent formation of toxic vapors, do not mix with strong acidic solutions. To prevent formation of potentially explosive metallic azides in metal plumbing, always wash into drain with copious quantities of water. This datasheet is as accurate as reasonably achievable, but Nordic-MUbio accepts no liability for any inaccuracies or omissions in this information.

The antibody is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; For prolonged storage prepare appropriate aliquots and store at or below -20°C; Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2); Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided; Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day; If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation; It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product
