CD45RC Monoclonal / FITC / REA1000

Product Details

Description	Clone REA1000 recognizes the RC isoform of the rat CD45 antigen, also known as leukocyte common antigen (LCA), which is a single-chain type I transmembrane glycoprotein. CD45 has multiple isoforms and differential glycosylation, CD45RC is the high molecular weight form of CD45. CD45 is expressed at high levels on all cells of hematopoietic origin except for erythrocyte and platelets. It plays a role in signal transduction through B and T cell antigen receptors. The CD45RC isoform is expressed on B cells, most cytotoxic T cells, and a subset of T helper cells, but not expressed on myeloid cells. \| Additional information: Clone REA1000 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.
