Product Name:

Anti-Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha antibody [EP1823Y] (ab76074)

Catalog Number:

ab76074

HL-60 cells are able to differentiate to neutrophils after all trans retinoic acid (RA) treatment. RARalpha expression level was assayed using Anti-Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha antibody [EP1823Y] (ab76074). Cell culture volumes containing two million cells (untreated vs. RA treated) were harvested, fixed for 10 min with 2% paraformaldehyde, and permeabilized with ice cold methanol. After 3 washes with PBS, the cells were incubated with Anti-Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha antibody [EP1823Y] (ab76074) that we previously labeled with the ThermoFisher Alexa Fluor® 488 dye. According to the Abcam datasheet, the Anti-Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha antibody [EP1823Y] (ab76074) is tested for flow cytometry. We also had good results with it.
