TCR V alpha 7.2 / FITC / REA179
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA179 recognizes the TCR chain Valpha7.2, which together with Jalpha33 segment forms the invariant T cell receptor. Human Valpha7.2-Jalpha33 invariant T cells are preferentially localized in the gut and are often termed as mucosal-associated T (MAIT) cells. MAIT cells are restricted to MHC class I like molecules, such as MR1. Further, MAIT cells are suggested to be involved in regulation of immune response at the mucosal surfaces, which are the primary sites for pathogen entry. | Additional information: Clone REA179 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.
