MHC II (RT1-Bu) / Alexa Fluor 488 / OX-3

Product Details

Description	NB100-65011 recognizes a polymorphic determinant of rat Ia antigen (RT1Bu) present on Lewis, Wistar and AO strain rats but not BN, DA or PVG/c strains (1,2). This antibody is useful for distinguishing Ia positive cells from different rat strains, e.g. for recognizing cells of donor origin in bone marrow reconstituted radiation chimaeras (3,4). MRC OX-3 cross reacts with mouse strains of MHC haplotypes b and s, and analysis of recombinant mouse strains showed that the determinants mapped to the I-A region. NB100-65011 recognizes Ia antigens on B-cells, dendritic cells and certain epithelial cells (1,3,4). This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on Lewis rat splenocytes.

About Alexa Fluor 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 (AF488, Alexa 488) has an excitation peak at 488 nm and an emission peak at 496 nm, and is considered a high-performance alternative to FITC. Alexa 488 is one of the most popular Alexa Fluor™ dyes and is widely used in Fluorescence Microscopy, flow cytometry, and for staining low expression markers. It is bright, highly photostable, resistant to pH changes, and less susceptible to photobleaching. Alexa 488 and is similar in size, brightness and application to DyLight™ 488, iFluor® 488 and CF®488A.
