Monocytes, Macrophages (FITC)

This antibody is useful in the study of the development, distribution, function and ontogeny of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) of the chicken by exclusively recognizing the cells of the MPS. It identifies chicken monocytes and macrophages as well as interdigitating cells and activated microglia cells.

Applications:
• Flow cytometry 1, 2
• Immunohistochemistry 1

Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: ≤ 1ug/10e6 cells
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20°C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
