Product Name:

Rat IgG1 λ APC isotype control

Catalog Number:

401903

This antibody was used as an isotype control to account for non-specific background staining in mouse splenocytes. It was chosen because it was the recommended isotype control for an antibody in a phenotyping panel, and BioLegend had a competitive price.
