SKU AM05879FC-N

Rituximab rat monoclonal antibody, clone MB2 A4, FITC

Product Data

• Clone Name: MB2 A4
• Application: FC
• Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: Use 10 µl of neat antibody to label 10⁶ cells in 100 µl.
• Reactivity: Human
• Antibody Host: Rat
• Isotype: IgG2a
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: F(ab)2 fragment of Rituximab
• Specificity: This antibody specifically recognizes the idiotypic determinants expressed by the Rituximab humanised monoclonal antibody. This antibody does not recognise other CD20 antibodies. ; It has been used to detect Rituximab bound to the surface of the Raji B cell line, however detection of Rituximab bound 'in vivo' to B-CLL cells has not been demonstrated. It is possible that complement deposition on Rituximab opsonised cells inhibits binding of the anti-Rituximab antibody to cell bound Rituximab (3).
