Product Name:

PE/Cy7 anti-mouse Podoplanin Antibody

Catalog Number:

127411

In this experiment we were examining type II alveolar epithelial cells using podoplanin in WT and KO mice.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Digested lung from mouse

Primary Incubation

1 ul per 100 ul reaction, incubated 30 minutes at 4 degrees in the dark

Blocking Agent

Fc Block

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

BD LSR II

Results Summary

The antibody clearly worked and showed a strong positive signal, but I was expecting more distinct populations as opposed to diffuse staining intensity. I was not satisfied with the results, although it is possible that the digestion method altered the podoplanin (T1alpha) expression.
