CD45 is a receptor-tyrosine phosphatase required for antigen-induced signaling in T-cells and B-cells; its substrates are unknown. Interestingly, it associates with several Src-family tyrosine kinases, which are inhibited by tyrosine phosphorylation in their c-termini, suggesting a mechanism for signaling by CD45.
Antigen distribution:
B-cells (lg+) > 95%
T-cells (E+) 70 + 10%
Peripheral blood lymphocytes 68 + 8%
T-cells (CD4+) 50 + 10%
Monocytes 50 + 20%
Thymocytes < 5%
Granulocytes < 1%
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:500
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
RAW264 Cell Lysate
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.
