CD45RC Mouse Anti-Rat, Brilliant Violet 510, Clone: OX-22, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The OX-22 antibody reacts with CD45RC on pre-B lymphocytes, B cells, CD8+ T suppressor/cytotoxic cells, and a subset of CD4+ T helper (Th) lymphocytes
• It weakly reacts with thymocytes
• CD45RC is a high-molecular-weight isoform of CD45 (Leukocyte Common Antigen); its level of expression distinguishes subpopulations of CD4+ T cells with Th1-like and Th2-like effector functions
• Levels of expression of CD45RC have also been reported to distinguish resting from activated T cells at various stages of maturation
• CD45 is a member of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) family: Its intracellular (COOH-terminal) region contains two PTP catalytic domains, and the extracellular region is highly variable due to alternative splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6 (designated A, B, and C, respectively), plus differing levels of glycosylation
• The CD45 isoforms detected in the rat are cell type-, maturation-, and activation state-specific
• The CD45 isoforms play complex roles in T-cell and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction
• The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV510 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes
• With an Ex Max of 405nm and Em Max at 510nm, BD Horizon BV510 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon V500 (525/50nm) filter set
• BD Horizon BV510 conjugates are useful for the detection of dim markers off the violet laser
• BV510 is a polymer-based dye that is brighter than BD Horizon V500
• Due to similar excitation and emission properties, BD Horizon BV510 and BD Horizon V500 cannot be used simultaneously.
