This TCR gamma/delta antibody is conjugated to PE-DyLight 594
Application
Flow Cytometry (FACS)
Specificity
The mouse monoclonal antibody B1 (also known as B1.1) recognizes an extracellular epitope of TCR gamma/delta, the subtype of T cell receptor expressed mainly in epithelial tissues and at the sites of infection.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with activated tandem dye of R-phycoerythrin-DyLight®594 (PE-DyLight®594) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 4 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
The antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) is composed of either alpha and beta subunit, or gamma and delta subunit. Majority of T cells present in the blood, lymph and secondary lymphoid organs express TCR alpha/beta heterodimers, whereas the T cells expressing TCR gamma/delta heterodimers are localized mainly in epithelial tissues and at the sites of infection. The subunits of TCR heterodimers are covalently bonded and in the endoplasmic reticulum they associate with CD3 subunits to form functional TCR-CD3 complex. Lack of expression of any of the chains is sufficient to stop cell surface expression.,TCRG/D
