Description: The 2E7 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD103, the alphaE integrin. CD103 non-covalently associates with integrin beta7 and is expressed on all intraepithelial lymphocytes, a small subset of peripheral lymphocytes, and dendritic epidermal T cells (DEC). Epithelial cell antigen E-cadherin binds to CD103 and mediates homing of lymphocytes to the intestinal epithelium.

Applications Reported: This 2E7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This 2E7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse lymph node cells. This may be used at less than or equal to 1.0 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) is a dye that emits at 423 nm and is intended for use on cytometers equipped with a violet (405 nm) laser. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

When using two or more Super Bright, Brilliant Violet™, Brilliant Ultra Violet™, or other polymer dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product # SB-4401-42) or Brilliant Stain Buffer™ (Product # 00-4409-75) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer or Brilliant Stain Buffer for more information.

Excitation: 407 nm; Emission: 423 nm; Laser: Violet Laser.
