This antibody recognises the murine CD40 cell surface glycoprotein. It does not react with normal mouse Ig or with human IgG1 and will stain most mature mouse B cells. It does not cross react with mouse T cells. The specificity of Rat anti Mouse CD40 antibody, clone 3/23 was demonstrated by ELISA and flow cytometry using BHK cells transfected with mouse CD40.Rat anti Mouse CD40 antibody, clone 3/23 is a powerful activator of normal B cells especially in the presence of IL-4.
Applications
Flow Cytometry
Dilutions
Flow Cytometry: Neat, Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 106 cells in 100µl. The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind to cells expressing low affinity Fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR (BUF041A/BUF041B).
