Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 ?g per million cells in 100 ?L volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

* PE/Fire? 640 has a maximum excitation of 566 nm and a maximum emission of 639 nm.

While 1A8 recognizes only Ly-6G, clone RB6-8C5 recognizes both Ly-6G and Ly-6C. Clone RB6-8C5 binds with high affinity to mouse Ly-6G molecules and to a lower extent to Ly-6C¹⁵. Clone RB6-8C5 impairs the binding of anti-mouse Ly-6G clone 1A8¹⁵. However, clone RB6-8C5 is able to stain in the presence of anti-mouse Ly-6C clone HK1.4¹⁶.

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunohistochemistry⁹ of frozen sections¹⁰ and paraffin-embedded sections¹¹, depletion^{4, 12-14}, and spatial biology (IBEX)^20,21. The Ultra-LEAF? purified antibody (Endotoxin < 0.01 EU/?g, Azide-Free, 0.2 ?m filtered) is recommended for in vivo?studies or highly sensitive assays (Cat. No.?127632, 127649, 127650, 127661 and 127662).
