Specific Information

Description: The AFS98 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD115 molecule, a receptor for macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) or colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1). CD115 is expressed by monocyte, macrophage, osteoclast, and some epithelial cells. It is a 150 kDa c-fms gene product and belongs to immunoglobulin family. CSF-1 signaling through CSF-1R regulates the proliferation and differentiation of cells in the monocytic lineage.

Applications Reported: This AFS98 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This AFS98 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse BM derived macrophages. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 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.

Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.

Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-822-49) (100 µL cell sample + 100 µL IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333-54) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.

Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 775 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
