CD25 Monoclonal Antibody (eBio7D4 (7D4)), eFluor™ 660, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The eBio7D4 antibody reacts with mouse CD25, the 55 kDa interleukin-2 receptor a chain (IL-2Ra). CD25 is expressed by early progenitors of the T and B lineage, as well as by activated mature T and B lymphocytes. By itself, CD25 binds IL-2 only with low affinity. However, CD25 associates with CD122 (IL-2 receptor beta chain) and CD132 (common gamma chain) to form the high affinity IL-2 receptor. CD25 plays a role in lymphocyte differentiation and activation/proliferation. The epitopes recognized by eBio3C7, PC61.5 and eBio7D4 are all different allowing for depletion with one antibody (typically PC61.5) followed by subsequent detection with another one. eBio7D4 has been reported to block IL-2 binding but can be overcome by additional IL-2. The monoclonal antibody PC61.5 (cat. 16-0251) is recommended for in vivo studies. Applications Reported: This eBio7D4(7D4) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This eBio7D4(7D4) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 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.
