Flow cytometry: It has been observed that pre-incubation of thymus cell suspensions at 37°C for 2-4 hours prior to staining enhances the ability of anti-CD3e and anti-TCR beta chain mAbs to detect the T cell receptor on immature thymocytes.

The H57-597 antibody reacts with a common epitope of the beta chain of the T-cell Receptor (TCR) complex on alphabeta TCR-expressing thymocytes and peripheral T lymphocytes and NK1.1+ thymocytes and NK-T cells of all mouse strains tested. It does not react with gammadelta TCR-bearing T cells. In the fetal and adult thymus, the TCR beta-chain may form homodimers or pair with the pre-TCR alpha-chain on the surface of immature thymocytes before expression of the TCR alpha-chain. Plate-bound or soluble H57-597 antibody activates alphabeta TCR-bearing T cells, and plate-bound mAb can induce apoptotic death.
