CD45RC Mouse Anti-Rat, BUV395, 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™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes
• This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry
• With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter
• BUV395 is a UV-excitable dye that has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences
• With an excitation max of 348 nm and emission max of 395 nm, BUV395 can be excited by the 355nm laser and detected in a 379/28 filter
• This dye is optimal for multicolor flow cytometry because it has little to no spillover into other detectors.
