SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody PAC-1 recognizes an extracellular activation-induced conformational epitope PAC-1 on CD41/CD61 complex (gpIIb/IIIa), also known as integrin alpha IIb beta 3, a receptor which mediates platelet aggregation.
ApplicationFC (QC tested)
Application detailsFlow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μl reagent / 100 μl of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Other namesplatelet GPIIb, Integrin alpha-Iib, GPalpha IIb, GPIIb, GT, GP3A, platelet GPIIIa
PreparationThe purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography.
FormulationStabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 15mM sodium azide
