Anti-Ly6g Antibody [RB6-8C5] (Amethyst Orange) (A281651)

Anti-Ly6g Antibody [RB6-8C5] (Amethyst Orange)

Rat monoclonal [RB6-8C5] antibody to Ly6g (Amethyst Orange).

This antibody recognises the mouse Gr-1 antigen, a ~21–25 kDa GPI anchored cell surface protein bearing a single uPAR/Ly6 domain that belongs to the Ly-6 family of proteins. Rat anti Mouse Gr-1 antibody, clone RB6-8C5 reacts predominantly with the Ly-6G protein but weaker reactivity with the Ly-6C protein has been reported. However, other observations dispute the cross-reactivity of clone RB6-8C5 with the Ly-6C protein with the alternative explanation that certain sub-populations of bone marrow cells simultaneously express both Ly-6C and Ly-6G The Gr-1 antigen is primarily a marker of myeloid differentiation. In the bone marrow the level of Gr-1 expression is low on immature myeloblasts and increases as the myeloid cells mature to granulocytes. Gr-1 is also expressed on macrophages and transiently on differentiating monocytes.Rat anti Mouse Gr-1 antibody, clone RB6-8C5 has been used successfully for the depletion of mature neutrophils in vivo (Czuprynski et al 1994, Daley et al. 2008).
