Monoclonal Anti-CD23 PerCP-Cyanine5.5 produced in mouse

CD23 (Fc epsilon RII), the low affinity IgE receptor, is a 45 kDa type II membrane glycoprotein expressed more or less on eosinophils, follicular dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, mature B cells (mainly upon activation), EBV-transformed lymphoblasts, monocytes, and subpopulation of platelets. A soluble form of 37 kDa and other its fragments were also described. CD23 mediates IgE-dependent cytotoxicity by eosinophils and macrophages, and downregulates IgE secretion in response to high levels of IgE, involving release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

The mouse monoclonal antibody EBVCS-5 recognizes an extracellular epitope located in the stalk region of human low affinity IgE receptor (CD23) between the 37 and 25 kDa cleavage sites.

EBV-transformed human cells

Stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide

Purified antibody is conjugated with activated tandem dye of activated Peridinin-Chlorophyll Protein-Cyanine 5.5 (PerCP-Cy5.5) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Store at 2-8°C. Protect from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.
