MCA02RT recognises the mouse Thy1.2 alloantigen, expressed by thymocytes and peripheral T lymphocytes. Clone F7D5 reacts with Thy1.2 mice such as CBA and BALB/C, but not with Thy1.1 mice eg. AKR and FUB.
The antibody is particularly useful for removal of T lymphocytes from cell populations by complement mediated cytotoxicity, seeLake, Pet al.for details.
This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry using mouse thymocytes.
Fusion Partners
Spleen cells from immunised AKR mice were fused with cells of the mouse NS-1 myeloma cell line.
