IFN gamma Monoclonal Antibody (XMG1.2), Alexa Fluor™ 488, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The XMG1.2 antibody reacts with mouse interferon (IFN) gamma. The XMG1.2 antibody is a neutralizing antibody. Mouse IFN gamma is a 20 kDa factor produced by activated T, B and NK cells, and is an anti-viral and anti-parasitic cytokine. IFN gamma, in synergy with other cytokines such as TNF alpha, inhibits proliferation of normal and transformed cells. Immunomodulatory effects of IFN gamma are exerted on a wide range of cell types expressing the high affinity receptors for IFN gamma. Glycosylation of IFN gamma does not affect its biological activity. Applications Reported: This XMG1.2 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This XMG1.2 antibody has been tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of stimulated mouse splenocytes using the Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set (cat. 88-8824) and protocol. Please refer to Best Protocols: Protocol A: Two step protocol for (cytoplasmic) intracellular proteins located under the Resources Tab online. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
