Invitrogen 100 µg CD133 (Prominin-1) Monoclonal Antibody (13A4), PerCP-eFluor 710, eBioscience™

The 13A4 monoclonal antibody recognizes mouse Prominin-1 (sometimes also referred to as CD133 and, in the case of the human orthologue, as AC133), a 115-120 kDa pentaspan transmembrane (5-TM) domain glycoprotein. Prominin-1 is expressed on primitive cells such as hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, neural and endothelial stem cells, retina and retinoblastoma, as well as developing epithelium. To date, the function and ligand of Prominin-1 are unknown. The 13A4 antibody does not cross react with rat, human, chicken, or Drosophila antigen but has been reported to work in canine/dog.

• PerCP-eFluor® 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.
• Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (100 µL cell sample + 100 µL IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution 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.
• Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
• Recommended Isotype Control: Rat IgG1 kappa Isotype Control (eBRG1), PerCP-eFluor 710, eBioscience™.
