Additonal Description

Marker for macrophages, dendritic cells and granulocytes. Monoclonal antibody 88a is a useful activation marker for tissue staining and FACS analysis in various murine models. The antigen is a 200kD (glyco-)protein with unknown function. The antigen is expressed at low levels by bone marrow monocytes and granulocytes, and increases upon maturation in vitro. The expression is also enhanced after MIF treatment of macrophages. The antigen is displayed by both immature and mature Kupffer cells. Application: IHC (f)
Test

Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
