Product Name:

Purified anti-mouse CD184 (CXCR4) Antibody

Catalog Number:

146502

We are interested in the cells involved in the maintenance of normal vascular structure in the mouse retina, and want to see if CXCR4 populations change with injury/disease.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Normal Goat Serum

Secondary Incubation

1:250 secondary antibody, 3 hours at room temperature in staining buffer (or over night at 4 degrees Celsius)

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Fluorescent microscope

Results Summary

We are able to see a few CXCR4+ cells localized to vasculature, but there is a lot of non-specific staining as well.

Summary

The Good

Works okay

The Bad

High non-specific staining

The Bottom Line

This antibody allows to see some CXCR4+ cells, but there is high non-specific staining so not the best antibody for our purposes.
