Product Name:

AF488 anti-mouse F4/80

Catalog Number:

123120

Our lab studies the effect of influenza infection on the function of immune cells in different cohorts of mice. We need a good F4/80 antibody to isolate the macrophages and study their function during and after infection. This antibody allows us to visualize this large population without too much spillover.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mouse spleen cells

Primary Incubation

Cells were stained in 100uL FACS buffer with antibody at 1:200; for 1 hour on ice and in the dark. Cells were washed with FACS buffer and run in 100uL FACS buffer.

Blocking Agent

FACS buffer

Secondary Incubation
