CD62L (L-Selectin) Monoclonal Antibody (MEL-14), Brilliant Ultra Violet™ 805, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

• The MEL-14 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD62L, a 76 kDa member of the selectin family
• CD62L is expressed by neutrophils, monocytes, and subsets of T, B, and NK cells and binds a number of glycosylated, fucosylated, sulfated sialylated glycoproteins including CD34, glycam-1 and MAdCam-1
• These interactions mediate rolling of lymphocytes on activated endothelium at the sites of inflammation and homing of cells to the high endothelial venules (HEV) of peripheral lymphoid tissues
• Applications Reported: This MEL-14 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis
• Applications Tested: This MEL-14 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes
• This may be used at less than or equal to 0.06 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
• It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest
• Brilliant Ultraviolet 805 is a tandem dye that emits at 797 nm and is intended for use on cytometers equipped with an ultraviolet (355 nm) laser
• The human CD62L is a 74-95 kDa glycoprotein member of the selectin family of adhesion receptors
• L-Selectin is comprised of an aminoterminal C-type lectin binding domain, an epidermal growth factor-like domain, two short consensus repeat (SCR) sequences homologous to those found in complement binding proteins, a short spacer region, a transmembrane region and a short cytoplasmic region
• Human CD62L (L-Selectin) is constitutively expressed on all classes of leukocytes including lymphocytes (except a substantial population of memory T cells), monocytes and polymorphonuclear cells.
