CD229 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and may have a function in cell signalling. The antigen is expressed at low levels by mature T and B lymphocytes and at higher levels by single-positive thymocytes. Expression at variable levels is also seen in some cell lines, such as Daudi, U937 and HUT78.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 10ul labels of a 1:50-1:100 working dilution to 10e6 cells in 100ul.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.
