The 5D3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an epitope of ABCG2 (BCRP1), a multi-drug resistance protein that is a member of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. It is highly expressed on primitive stem cells as identified by the "side-population" (SP) phenotype. This SP phenotype is based on the efflux of fluorescent dyes such as Rhodamine 123 and Hoechst 33342. The expression of ABCG2 appears to be highly conserved as it has been identified in various species. Studies show that highly purified murine stem cells express BCRP1 mRNA and this expression declines sharply as the stem cells express CD34. The highest levels of BCRP1 mRNA expression have been seen in KDR+ human stem cells. ABCG2/BCRP1 was clustered as CD338 in the HLDA8 workshop.

注意事项:
1.This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 X 10e6 cells in a 100-μl experimental sample (a test).
2.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
3.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4.Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
5.The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.
