PE/Cy7 anti-mouse CD9
Description
CD9 is a surface glycoprotein of the tetraspannin family. It is expressed on a variety of cells, including nerve, muscle cells and many cells of hematopoietic origin. CD9 is found to participate in forming a large molecular cell complex with other member proteins, such as MHC class II, CD19, CD5 and other TM4SF molecules. It is reported that CD9 is a marker of marginal zone B cells, B1 cells and plasma cells. The diverse functions of CD9 may largely depend upon its associated molecules on different 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 ≤ 0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
