CD3 / FITC / REA641
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA641 recognizes the mouse CD3 complex, which is expressed on all mature T lymphocytes, NKT cells, and during the development of thymocytes. CD3, also known as T3, belongs to the Ig superfamily. It consists of CD3epsilon, delta, gamma, and zeta chains and forms a TCR complex by associating with TCR alpha/beta or gamma/delta chains. The TCR does not possess intracellular signaling domains, uncoupling Ag recognition from T cell signaling. The TCR is instead non-covalently associated with a multisubunit signaling apparatus, consisting of the CD3epsilongamma and CD3epsilondelta heterodimers and the CD3zetazeta homodimer, which collectively form the TCR-CD3 complex. CD3 is involved in T cell activation, signal transduction, and antigen recognition by binding the peptide/MHC antigen complex. | Additional information: Clone REA641 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
