CD45 Monoclonal Antibody (2D1), Super Bright™ 600, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

• The 2D1 monoclonal antibody reacts with all isoforms of human CD45, also known as Leukocyte Common Antigen (LCA)
• CD45 is expressed by all hematopoietic cells excluding circulating erythrocytes and platelets
• The cytoplasmic portion of CD45 has tyrosine phosphatase enzymatic activity and plays an important role in activation of lymphocytes
• This 2D1 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells
• This can be used at 5 μL (0.25 μg) per test
• A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL
• Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test
• Super Bright 600 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 600 nm
• We recommend using a 610/20 bandpass filter
• Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome
• When using two or more Super Bright dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product No
• SB-4401) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions
• Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer for more information
• Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation
• Protect this vial and stained samples from light
• Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (cat
• CD45 (LCA, leukocyte common antigen) is a receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) ubiquitously expressed in all nucleated hematopoietic cells, comprising approximately 10% of all surface proteins in lymphocytes
• CD45 is absent on non-hematopoietic cell lines, normal and malignant, non-hematopoietic tissues
• CD45 glycoprotein is crucial in lymphocyte development and antigen signaling, serving as an important regulator of Src-family kinases
• CD45 protein exists as multiple isoforms as a result of alternative splicing, differ in their extracellular domains but share identical transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains
• CD45RA is an isoform of the CD45 complex and has restricted expression between different subtypes of lymphoid cells
• CD45 isoforms differ in their ability to translocate into the glycosphingolipid-enriched membrane domains and their expression depends on cell type and physiological state of the cell
• CD45 has been shown to be an essential regulator of T- and B-cell antigen receptor signaling and suppresses JAK kinases to regulate cytokine receptor signaling
• CD45 is also important in promoting cell survival by modulating integrin-mediated signal transduction pathway, DNA fragmentation during apoptosis and inhibition or upregulation of various immunological functions.
