Anti-CD45RA Antibody, Clone MEM 56

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.

This antibody recognizes the 220 kDa molecular weight component of the leucocyte common antigen complex expressed on some CD4+ T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and CD8+ lymphocytes. The CD45R+/CD4+ lymphocytes functionally exert suppressor/inducer activity in in vitro assay systems.
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%

Purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG2b in phosphate buffered saline containing 10 mM sodium azide and 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin.
We recommend that each laboratory determine an optimum working titre for use in its particular application.

For use within 1 month of date of purchase store at 2-8°C, for long term storage aliquot antibody into small volumes and store at -20°C for up to 1 year from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

Control
RAW264 Cell Lysate
