Specific Information

Description: The YKIX302.9 monoclonal antibody reacts with canine CD4, a cell surface receptor expressed on a majority of thymocytes, a subpopulation of mature T cells and dendritic cells. In dogs, CD4 is also highly expressed on neutrophils. CD4 binds to MHC class II on the surface of antigen presenting cells and plays an important role in T cell development and homeostasis.

This YKIX302.9 monoclonal antibody has been reported to block MHC II-restricted T cell responses in vivo and in vitro.

Applications Reported: This YKIX302.9 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This YKIX302.9 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal canine peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 µL (0.25 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.

Super Bright 702 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 702 nm. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

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

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

Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333) 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: 405 nm; Emission: 702 nm; Laser: Violet Laser
