(tested or 100% immunogen sequence identity)
Clonality
IgG1
Monoclonal
Conjugations
Unconjugated

Immunogen
Whole human thymic stoma cells.
Specificity
Recognizes human fibroblasts in tissue as well as cultured fibroblasts. On skin sections the antibody reacts with stratum basal epidermal cells. The antigen appears to be a marker for mesodermally dervied (mesenchymal) human connective tissue and tumors derived from such tissue (e.g. fibrosarcomas) {Haynes et al, 1984}. Useful for the assessment of thymic epithelial culture contamination with fibroblasts, and the identification of cells of mesodermal origin in the fetus.
Applications
- Immunofluorescence (1:100 - 1:200)
- Flow Cytometry (1:100)
Usage
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, FACS, and the assessment of thymic epithelial culture contamination with fibroblasts and the identification of cells of mesodermal origin in the fetus. Immunofluorescence: 1:100-1:200 (acetone fixed tissue). FACS: 1:100 (fresh or acetone fixed tissue; do not use trypsin to prepare adherent cell lines, use a non-enzymatic detachment procedure.
