Applications:
� Flow cytometry 1,2
� Immunocytochemistry (acetone-fixed, frozen sections) 2
� Immunosuppression of T cells 2
� Immunoprecipitation 1
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: (same/less than) 0.5ug/10e6 cells
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 add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20 degrees C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 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.
