Biotin anti-mouse CD226 (DNAM-1)
Description
CD226 (DNAM-1) is constitutively expressed on native CD8+ cells and on CD4+ T cells, macrophages and NK cells.This antibody (10E5) was reported to bind about 40% of inactivated CD4+ cells and binds only to differentiated Th1 cells, but not to Th2 or Th0 cells.It is also reported to suppress antigen-specific T cell expansion and EAE (experimental allergic encephalitis) mediated by Th1 cells.
Formulation
Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.Recommended Usage
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.125 microg per million cells in 100 microL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
