Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	OX-30
Applications	FC, IHC
Recommend Dilution	Flow cytometry (see protocol). Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections. (Reported to be unsuitable for use with paraffin sections.)
Reactivity	Rat
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Lymph Node glycoproteins and cells. Donor: BALB/c spleen Fusion Partner: NSO/U
Specificity	This monoclonal antibody recognizes a monomorphic determinant of the rat leukocyte common antigen.(1) The antigen recognized is a heavily glycosylated membrane glycoprotein of molecular weight 170,000 Da on thymocytes but molecular weight 170,000-220,000 Da on other leukocytes. The leukocyte common antigen (L-CA) is a major glycoprotein of haematopoietic cells but is not found on other tissues or erythroid cells. It is present on greater than 95% of thymocytes, bone marrow cells and thoracic duct lymphocytes. This molecule carries much of the carbohydrate of thymocytes and shows interesting heterogeneity amongst T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes.
Formulation	PBS, 0.02% NaN3 and EIA grade BSA as a stabilizing protein to bring total protein concentration to 4-5 mg/ml Label: FITC State: Liquid Ig fraction
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Protein G Chromatography
Conjugation	FITC
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C
Database Link	Entrez Gene 24699 Rat UniProt ID P04157
Background	CD45 is a family of single chain transmembraneous glycoproteins consisting of at least four isoforms (220, 205, 190, 180 kDa) which share a common large intracellular domain. Their extracellular domains are heavily glycosylated. The different isoforms are produced by alternative messenger RNA splicing of three exons of a single gene on chromosome 1. CD45 is expressed on cells of the human hematopoietic lineage (including hematopoietic stem cells) with the exception of mature red cells. It is not detected on differentiated cells of other tissues. It is likely that CD45 plays an important role in signal transduction, inhibition or upregulation of various immunological functions. Antibodies recognising a common epitope on all of the isoforms are termed CD45 whilst those recognising only individual isoforms are termed CD45RA or CD45RO etc.
Synonyms	PTPRC, Leukocyte common antigen, L-CA, T200
Note	Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: Method: 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cell population with Lympholyte®-Rat cell separation medium 2. Wash 2 times. 3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x10e7 cells/ml in media A. Add 50 µl of this suspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1 x 10e6 cells, representing 1 test). 4. To each tube, add 0.1-0.2 µg of this Ab per 10e6 cells. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. (It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive.) 7. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold media B. 9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 µl of propidium iodide at 0.5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA. Media: A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide (100 µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls). B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100 µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls). Results - Tissue Distribution: Rat Strain: Wistar Cell Concentration: 1x10e6 cells per test Antibody Concentration Used: 0.1 µg/10e6 cells Isotypic Control: FITC Mouse IgG2a Cell Source Percentage of cells stained above control: Thymus: 99.9% Spleen: 96.0% Lymph Node: 99.5%
