Invitrogen Granzyme B Monoclonal Antibody (NGZB), PE-Cyanine7, 100 µg, eBioscience™

Invitrogen Granzyme B Monoclonal Antibody (NGZB), PE-Cyanine7, 100 µg, eBioscience™

This NGZB monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse Granzyme B, which is a member of the granzyme serine protease family. Granzyme B is found in the granules of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells. Granzyme B has also been described as CGL1 (cathepsin G-like-1), a serine protease expressed only in cytotoxic T-lymphocytes after cell activation, and CTLA-1 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated serine esterase 1) based on identification of mRNA in various cytotoxic T cells, but not observed in non-cytotoxic lymphoid cells. Granzyme B is crucial for the rapid induction of target cell death by apoptosis, induced by interaction with cytotoxic T cells. The receptor involved has been identified as mannose 6-phosphate receptor. This receptor functions as a death receptor for Granzyme B during cytotoxic T cell-induced apoptosis. This NGZB monoclonal antibody does not crossreact to human Granzyme B nor is staining blocked with GB11, suggesting it recognizes a different epitope.

Features  

• Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.
• 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.
• Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 775 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.
• Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
• Recommended Isotype Control: Rat IgG2a kappa Isotype Control (eBR2a), PE-Cyanine7, eBioscience™.
