CD23 is a 45kD protein, also known as low affinity IgE Fc receptor, FceRII, BLAST-2, Ly-42, or B6. It is a member of the Ig family, expressed on conventional B (but not B-1) cells and follicular dendritic cells. CD23 responds to high levels of IgE by downregulating IgE secretion. This antibody is useful for blocking IgE activity in vivo.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Functional Assays, Immunohistochemistry (frozen), and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 10ul labels 10e6 cells in 100ul
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Hybridoma:
1R983F rat myeloma cells with spleen cells from Lou/m rats.
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, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, 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.
