Product Data Sheet PE anti-mouse CD133 Mouse CD133 transfected RBL-2H3 cells were stained with CD133 (clone 315-2C11) PE (filled histogram) or rat IgG2a, κ PE isotype control (open histogram). C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow cells were stained with FITC-conjugated Ly-6G, CD3 and B220, CD117 APC and CD133 (clone 315-2C11) PE (middle) or rat IgG2a, κ PE (bottom) isotype control. Data was gated on Ly-6G/CD3/B220 negative cell population. Catalog # / Size: 141203 / 25 µg 141204 / 100 µg Clone: 315-2C11 Isotype: Rat IgG2a, λ Immunogen: CFA Reactivity: Mouse Preparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with PE under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated PE and unconjugated antibody. Formulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide. Concentration: 0.2 mg/ml Storage: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. Applications: Applications: FC - Quality tested Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application. Description: CD133 (also known as Prominin-1 or AC133) is a 120 kD pentaspan glycoprotein with 5 transmembrane domains which localize to cellular protrusions. CD133 was initially described as a surface antigen specific for human hematopoietic stem cells and as a marker for murine neuroepithelial cells and some embryonic epithelia. Later on, CD133 was found on other stem cells including endothelial progenitor cells, glioblastomas, neuronal, and glial stem cells. In addition to hematopoietic stem cells, CD133 was found on cancer cells, such as some leukemia cells and brain tumors cells. It also has been detected at low levels in the kidney, pancreas, placenta, and fetal liver tissue. Although the biological function of CD133 is not conclusive, CD133 has been extensively used as a stem cell marker for normal and cancerous tissues. Antigen References: 1. Singh SK, et al. 2004.
