Description:
The high-affinity anti-RBC monoclonal antibody efficiently bind to Fc receptors on macrophages inducing anemia in vivo due to a rapid Fc receptor (FcyR)-mediated erythrophagocytosis of opsonised RBC in spleen and livers. The capacity of the antibody to interact with FcyR is responsible for its haemolytic activity.
Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Functional Studies. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 1:50 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control: Mouse erythrocytes
