Formulation
Supplied at a concentration of 1mg/ml in PBS following reconstitution.
Shipping Conditions
The antibody is shipped in a lyophilized format at ambient temperature.
Storage Procedures
For long-term storage, maintain the lyophilized antibody at 4°C in a dry environment. After reconstitution, it is recommended to aliquot the antibody and store it at -20°C if not intended for use within one month.
Solubility
Reconstitute the antibody by adding H20. Gently mix the solution, ensuring to wash the sides of the vial, and allow it to stand for 30-60 seconds before use.
Applications
This antibody is suitable for applications such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and cell depletion. It exhibits binding affinity for both Ly-6G and Ly-6C (granulocyte receptor 1- Gr-1). Notably, Ly-6G is expressed on the majority of myeloid cells present in the bone marrow and on all peripheral granulocytes. Conversely, Ly-6C demonstrates expression on specific subsets of lymphocytes and monocytes. For optimal results in flow cytometry, it is recommended to use 10 µl of antibody per 10^6 cells. The precise titer required for in vivo cell depletion (cytotoxicity) should be empirically determined by the investigator.
Available Conjugates
In addition to the unconjugated form, this antibody is also offered with biotin and FITC conjugates.
