Additonal Description

MOMA 1 is a useful marker for the identification of macrophage subpopulations in various organs, mostly characterised by a high level of non-specific esterase expression. The staining is particularly noteworthy with the metallophilic macrophages adjacent to the marginal zone of the spleen. The marker is also very suitable for differentiation of non-metallophilic marginal zone macrophages as detected by ER-TR 9. In addition , MOMA 1 detects macrophages at inflammatory sites and is positive with Kupffer cells. The antigen is differentially induced in in vitro derived macrophages depending on the colony-stimulating factor applied (IL-3 > M-CSF > GM-CSF). 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.
