CD63 (MaxLight 550)

MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.

CD63 is a lysosomal granule-membrane glycoprotein and has been detected on the surface and in the cytoplasma of a variety of cells, particularly in platelets; surface expression indicates lysosomal secretion. CD63, present only in azurophil granules of non-stimulated neutrophils, is strongly expressed at the surface of neutrophils after activation showing that CD63 is a good marker for granule release; this phenomenon has been also reported for basophils. CD63 is present in cell line PHA blasts, K562, U937, KG1a, RAJI. Both surface and cytoplasmic reactions are reported. CD63 antigen has a diverse distribution on the surface and in the cytoplasm of many cell types including lymphoid, myeloid, endothelial cells and melanoma.
Applications
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunoprecipitation and Immunofluorescence.
Recommended Dilutions
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™550 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.

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