Biolegend

Product Name:

PE anti-mouse Ly-6G/Ly-6C (Gr-1) Antibody

Catalog Number:

108407

The purpose of experiment was to specifically label GR-1 marker for which this antibody was purchased. While labeling is specific, due to strong PE label antibody optimization is critically recommended. I went very high in diluting before getting specific signal.

The Good

Strong signal

The Bad

need to titrate antibody to very high dilutions

The Bottom Line

Overall its good antibody if a person is not lazy to titrate.
