Analysis Note

ControlMacrophages, monocytes, lymphoid organs

Application

Detect Macrophages/Monocytes using this Anti-Macrophages/Monocytes Antibody, clone MOMA-2 validated for use in FC, IH.

Research CategoryInflammation & Immunology

Flow Cytometry: membrane permeabilization is recommended for this application.

Immunohistology: FRESH frozen sections at 1:25. The epitope recognized by MAB1852 is formaline sensitive. Fixation in fresh, acetone at 4°C or colder is strongly recommended. Specimens must be completely air dried after acetone fixation. Formalin or PFA fixation is not recommended.

Because of the lower titer, enhanced detection systems such as our poly-HRP secondaries or biotin labelled secondary antibodies followed by SA-FITC are recommended.



Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Protein A purified

Format: Purified

Protein A Purified mouse immunoglobulin in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 0.15 M NaCl, and 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative..

Specificity

Recognizes an intracellular antigen of mouse macrophages and monocytes. It reacts strongly with macrophages in lymphoid organs such as tingible body macrophages and macrophages in T cell dependent areas and is extremely useful in immunohistochemistry. Reacts on all mouse strains tested.

Storage and Stability

Maintain for 1 year at 2–8°C from date of shipment. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
