Anti-Xenopus NK cells [1F8] monoclonal antibody
Invented by John Horton at University of Durham
Catalogue Number | 157744 |
Applications | FACS IHC WB |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | Xenopus Natural Killer (NK) cells |
Reactivity | Xenopus laevis |
Relevance | Enables identification of specific lymphoid populations in Xenopus (tested in liver, spleen and gut), namely NK cells. Enables separation from T and B cells. |
Host | Mouse |
Immunogen | Mice were immunised with splenocytes from early-thymectomized (Tx) Xenopus following B cell and thrombocyte depletion, therefore an enriched Natural Killer (NK) cell population. |
Immunogen UniProt ID | Not applicable |
Positive Control | IgG2a kappa |
Molecular Weight (kDa) | 74 |
Myeloma Used | P3X63Ag8.653 |
Recommended Growing Conditions | RPMI 1640 + 10% FCS |
Notes | Bands at 72 kDa and 74 kDa are found when probing western blots of lysates of Xenopus spleen, liver and gut with antibody 1G5, but an additional band at 84 kDa seen only in spleen and liver lysates indicates a potential difference in expression in these organs. mAb 1F8 and 4D4 behaved relatively poorly in Western blots, but identified protein bands similar to those recognised by 1G5. |
