CloneID: OX-85
Antigen Long Description: This antibody was prepared by immunizing 8 –12-week-old BALB/c mice with purified rat CD62L-CD4
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rat antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Uniprot Accession No.: P30836
Specificity Statement: OX-12 binds to rat antibody kappa light chains - has preference for IgKa allotype.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody binds to CD62L expressed on rat lymphocytes, and has been used to show that recombinant soluble rat CD62L-CD4, to which it also binds, is likely to be correctly folded (Nicholson, 1998). This antibody also labels, and can therefore be used to fractionate, the subpopulation of rat CD4+CD8- thymocytes that expresess L-selectin (Seddon, 1996). Cells with this phenotype are able to protect rats from diabetes upon adoptive transfer, as well as providing B cells with help for secondary antibody responses and mediating local graft-versus-host reactions.
