Podoplanin Monoclonal Antibody (eBio8.1.1 (8.1.1)), Alexa Fluor™ 488, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The 8.1.1 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse podoplanin (T1a, gp38, aggrus), a 43 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, named for its expression in kidney glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes). In addition, Podoplanin is expressed in epithelial and mesothelial cells such as intestinal epithelium, alveolar type I cells, podocytes, and mesothelium of the visceral peritoneum. It was also shown to be a potent marker for lymphatic endothelium. Podoplanin is also expressed by subcapsular epithelial cells of the murine thymus. Mice deficient in Podoplanin die at birth because of a respiratory defect and congenital lymphedema due to a failure in lymphatic pattern formation. Applications Reported: This eBio8.1.1 (8.1.1) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This eBio8.1.1 (8.1.1) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of the TE-71 cell line. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 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. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.
