Catalogue

Background
Mouse anti human CD2 can be used for identification of human T cells and a subset of NK cells associated with the receptor for sheep erythocytes rosettes expressing the 45-50,000 M.W. surface antigen.

Synonyms: T-cell surface antigen CD2; CD2 cytoplasmic domain-binding protein

Source
Derived from hybridization of mouse Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with T Lymphocytes activated by a mixed lymphocyte culture.

Product

Product Form: Unconjugated

Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide

Purification Method: Protein A/G Chromatography

Concentration: See vial for concentration

Applications
Flow cytometry: PBMC: Add 10 µl of antibody to 1 million PBMCs in 100 µl PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2 to 8°C. Wash twice with PBS, incubate with an appropriate concentratio with a fluorochrome conjugated secondary antibody, wash again and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. WHOLE BLOOD: Add10 µl of antibody to 100 µl of whole blood. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature 20°C. Lyse the whole blood. Wash once with PBS, incubate with an appropriate concentratio with a fluorochrome conjugated secondary antibody, wash again and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. See instrument manufacturer’s instructions for immunofluorescence analysis with a flow cytometer or microscope.
