Rat Anti-CD45 (Leukocyte Common Antigen, LCA, Ly-5 T200) (PE/Cy5.5)

CD45 is the common leukocyte antigen and is expressed on all cells of hematopoietic origin except erythrocytes.1-4 CD45 exists as a number of different isoforms which result from alternative RNA splicing of exons 4, 5 and 6. The CD45 molecule has been implicated as playing a key role in thymic development and in antigen-driven proliferation of T cells.4

Applications
• Flow cytometry 2, 3 • Immunoprecipitation 1, 3 • Radiometric quantitation of CD45 molecules on cell surfaces 1 • Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections)
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.
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.09% sodium azide and a stabilizing agent. Labeled with PE/Cy5.5.
Purity
Purified
Specificity
Recognizes mouse CD45 (T200 or leukocyte common antigen/LCA, all isoforms). Recognizes a framework epitope present on all CD45 isoforms.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
