Specificity was checked by ELISA and flow cytometry using BHK cells transfected with mouse CD40. It does not react with normal mouse Ig or with human IgG1 and will stain most mature mouse B cells. It does not cross react with mouse T cells.
Clone 3/23 is a powerful activator of normal B cells especially in the presence of IL-4.
Fusion Partners
Spleen cells from immunised LOU/c rats were fused with cells of the Ag8 mouse myeloma cell line.

Neat
Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Flow Cytometry
Use 10ul of the suggested working dilution to label 106cells in 100ul.
The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind non-specifically to cells expressing low affinity Fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR (BUF041A/B).
