About CD24
This gene encodes a sialoglycoprotein that is expressed on mature granulocytes and B cells and modulates growth and differentiation signals to these cells. The precursor protein is cleaved to a short 32 amino acid mature peptide which is anchored via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) link to the cell surface. This gene was missing from previous genome assemblies, but is properly located on chromosome 6. Non-transcribed pseudogenes have been designated on chromosomes 1, 15, 20, and Y. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

About PerCP-eFluor 710
PerCP-eFluor™ 710 (PerCP-eF710) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that combines PerCP and eF710. The donor molecule, PerCP can be excited by the 488-nm blue laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, eF710, which emitts light that can be captured with a 695/40 nm bandpass filter. PerCP-eF710 has an excitation peak at 482 nm and an emission peak at 710 nm, and is considered a slightly-red shifted but brighter alternative to PerCP-Cy5.5. This dye and associated products are mostly used for flow cytometry. This dye is part of the larger eFluor™ dye family, developed by eBioscience which is now part of ThermoFisher Scientific.
