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

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 ≤1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. For immunohistochemistry on frozen tissue, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10.0 µg/ml is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
