This antibody recognises the mouse CD3 antigen, expressed by mature T cells. Rat anti Mouse CD3 antibody, clone KT3 may be used to trigger proliferation and cytotoxicity of CD3 positive cells (Tomonari 1988).NB. For optimal staining incubations should be performed at room temperature.
Applications
Flow Cytometry
Dilutions
Flow Cytometry: Neat - 1:5, Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 106 cells or 100µl whole blood.The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind non-specifically to cells expressing low affinity Fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR ( BUF041A/B).
