Application Note
For FACS: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Product Note
Recognizes a polymorphic determinant on rat Ia present on Lewis, Wistar, and AO rat strains (although it is apparently expressed in lower amounts in AO rats) but not BN, DA, or PVG/c strains. This antibody also cross-reacts with mouse strains (MHC haplotypes b and s) and analysis of recombinant mouse strains shows that the determinant maps to the I-A region and correlates with mouse Ia specificity 9. Recognizes Ia antigens on approximately 18% of thymocytes but does not significantly label the majority of peripheral T lymphocytes. Is particularly useful for distinguishing Ia positive cells from different rat strains and has been used in the recognition of cells of donor origin in bone marrow reconstituted radiation chimeras.
