    Rat frozen spleen section was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for ten minutes at room temperature and blocked with 5% FBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then the section was stained with 10 µg/mL of CD3 (clone 1F4) Alexa Fluor® 488 (green), 10 µg/mL of CD29 (clone HMβ1-1) Alexa Fluor® 647 (blue), and 10 µg/mL of purified CD38 (clone 14.27) overnight at 4°C, followed by 5 µg/mL of anti-mouse IgG2b (clone RMG2b-1) Alexa Fluor® 594 (red) for two hours at room temperature. The image was captured by 10X objective.

Description

CD3 is a complex composed of δ, γ, ε, and ζ chains. They are 20-25 kD members of the immunoglobulin superfamily and associated with the T cell receptor (TCR). CD3 is expressed on thymocytes, peripheral T cells, some NK-T cells, and dendritic epidermal T cells. CD3 is involved in antigen recognition, signal transduction, and T cell activation.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 1.0 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. For immunohistochemistry staining on frozen tissue sections, a concentration range of 2.5 - 10 µg/ml is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

* Alexa Fluor® 488 has a maximum emission of 519 nm when it is excited at 488 nm.
