Anti-Mouse Ly-6G/Ly-6C (Gr-1) (Clone RB6-8C5) – Purified in vivo PLATINUM™ Functional Grade

Raised against granulocytes of mouse origin

This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.

Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s Purified Functional PLATINUM™ antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile.

Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Rat Anti-Mouse Granulocytes (Clone RB6-8C5) recognizes Mouse Granulocytes . This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype. The antibody was also test by PCR and IMPACT1 certified (For more information contact your Sales Rep).

The Gr-1 antigen is present at various levels correlated with granulocyte differentiation and maturation. The Gr-1 antigen is expressed on other myeloid populations, but not on lymphoid or erythroid cells.1,2

Gr-1 is a 21-25 kD protein. This myeloid differentiation antigen is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked protein expressed on granulocytes and macrophages. Clone RB6-8C5 antibody has been shown to inhibit the binding of the clone 1A8 antibody. Clone 1A8 monoclonal antibody reacts specifically with mouse Ly6G with no reported cross-reactivity with Ly6C.
