About CD45
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitosis, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP contains an extracellular domain, a single transmembrane segment and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus is classified as a receptor type PTP. This PTP has been shown to be an essential regulator of T- and B-cell antigen receptor signaling. It functions through either direct interaction with components of the antigen receptor complexes, or by activating various Src family kinases required for the antigen receptor signaling. This PTP also suppresses JAK kinases, and thus functions as a regulator of cytokine receptor signaling. Alternatively spliced transcripts variants of this gene, which encode distinct isoforms, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

About NovaFluor Red 710
The NovaFluor family of fluorescent polymers from Thermo Fisher Scientific are a novel reagent for traditional and spectral flow cytometry. These fluorophores are comprised of a DNA backbone polymer integrated with fluorophore substituted nucleosides to create a potent donor molecule. Tandem fluophores with long Stokes' Shift enable brighter, spectrally discrete, tunable fluorescent polymers as an alternative to traditional simple organic structures, protein-based fluorophores as well as the Horizon Brilliant™ family of fluorescent polymers from BD. NovaFluor Red 710 has an excitation peak at 637 nm and an emission peak at 710 nm.
