Brilliant Violet 421™ anti-mouse F4/80

Catalog Number:

123132

We are interested in studying macrophage activation phenotypes in mice. We collect peritoneal exudate cells, and use flow cytometry to gate out the non-macrophage population. This antibody provides a bright signal on a channel that was useful for our panel.
