ChT1, a member of the Ig superfamily with one V-like and one C2-like domain, is a T cell antigen that is expressed on the surface of embryonic thymocytes (day 10). In young chickens, about 90% of the thymocytes as well as a subpopulation of peripheral lymphocytes (which represent recent thymic emigrants) are ChT1 positive.1-4 Expression in the periphery declines with age and, in correlation with partial thymectomy, indicates that ChT1 can be used as an accurate marker for studying thymic function.3 This antibody can block T cell differentiation in vitro, in thymic organ cultures and in thymocyte precursors cultured on stromal cell monolayers.4

Applications
• Identification and enumeration of ChT1+ cells by flow cytometry 4 • Immunoprecipitation1,4 • In vitro inhibition of T cell differentiation4
Recommended Dilution
Flow Cytometry: ≤ 0.2ug/10e6 cells Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20°C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
Chicken thymocytes
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.09% sodium azide and a stabilizing agent. Labeled with PE.
Purity
Purified
Specificity
Recognizes the ChT1 antigen (Mr 63/104kD) on chicken thymocytes.
