Product Name:

Purified anti-human CD279 (PD-1) Antibody

Catalog Number:

329902

I wanted to back up some flow cytometry data from a colleague by studying TFH cells with immunofluorescence. I use this antibody at a 1 in 200 dilution in PBS (1 hour, RT) for staining my acetone fixed (20mins, 4oC, 6micron) sections. Amplification with anti IgG1 Alexa flour 647 or Alexa flour 546 works fine for me (not tried it with Alexa flour 488).
