Technical Data
G2005-66
Ganglioside GD3
Description:
GD3 has been identified as tumor-associated antigens expressed on the surface of neuroectoderm-derived tumors (melanoma, neuroblastoma and glioma) and T-cell leukemia. Gangliosides (sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids) are normal membrane constituents and highly expressed in the vertebral central nervous system.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Flow Cytometry: 1-2ug/ml per 10e6 cells cells. Lysis of GD3 positive (melanoma) cells in presence of complement.
Immunohistochemistry: Frozen tissue sections
Immunofluorescence: Cells in culture
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
