CD66a/c/e Monoclonal / FITC / REA889
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA889 recognizes the a, c, and e epitopes of the human CD66 antigen. CD66 constitutes a gene family whose members belong to the Ig superfamily of carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA). They are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes such as embryonic development, pregnancy, bile transport, as well as pathological conditions such as cancer, bacterial or viral infection, and inflammation. CD66a (CEACAM1), CD66c (CEACAM6), and CD66e (CEACAM5) are differentially expressed on some epithelial cells as well as on T cells, NK cell subsets, and granulocytes, especially neutrophils. | Additional information: Clone REA889 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.
