Mouse anti Lysozyme, conjugated to FITC

Mouse anti Lysozyme, conjugated to FITC

• Background: Lysozyme (LZ) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide of 14 kDa. Lysozyme is stored in primary but predominantly in specific (secondary) granules of neutrophils. It cleaves peptidoglycan constituents of the bacterial cell wall and can bind LPS. The epitope recognized by antibody LZ-2 is expressed by virtually all myeloid cells including normal and malignant granulocytes and monocytes. In normal myelopoiesis LZ can first be detected at the myeloblast stage where it appears somewhat later than MPO expression. The LZ-2 antibody permits the identification and enumeration of Human myelomonocytic cells using flow cytometry. Results must be interpreted by a certified professional before final interpretation. Analyses performed with this antibody should be paralleled by positive and negative controls. If unexpected results are obtained which cannot be attributed to differences in laboratory procedures, please contact us.

Analyze fixed cells within 24 hours.
• Form: _x000D_ 2 mL of FITC-conjµgated anti Lysozyme (clone LZ-2) in PBS pH 7,2, 1% BSA, and 0,05% NaN3, approximately 100 tests
• Precautions: For professional users only. This reagent contains sodium azide. To avoid the development of hazardous conditions, reagents containing azide should be diluted in running water prior to be discarded. Similar to the work with other biological products, proper handling procedures are recommended.

• Storage Conditions: Nordic-MUbio monoclonal antibody reagents contain optimal concentrations of affinity-purified antibody; For stability reasons this monoclonal antibody solution contains sodium azide. These reagents should be stored at 2-8°C (DO NOT FREEZE!) and protected from prolonged exposure to light. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation; It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product Stability of the reagent: Please refer to the expiry date printed onto the vial. The use of the reagent after the expiration date is not recommended.
