The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated Alexa Fluor® 488.
Concentration:
0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤1.0 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
* Alexa Fluor® 488 has a maximum emission of 519 nm when it is excited at 488 nm. ** Alexa Fluor® 488 is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc. Alexa Fluor® 488 dye antibody conjugates are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, except for use in combination with microarrays and high content screening, and are covered by pending and issued patents.
The 17A2 antibody recognizes ε/γ (but not ε/δ) of the CD3 complex. The 17A2 antibody can induce T cell activation and has been reported to deplete CD3+ cells in vivo. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunoprecipitation1, complement-mediated cytotoxicity1,3, immunohistochemical staining1,4 of acetone-fixed frozen sections, in vitro stimulation of T cells1 and depletion2 of CD3+ cells in vivo. The LEAF™Purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm sterile-filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 100208).

C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes stained with 17A2 Alexa Fluor® 488
CD3, also known as T3, is a member of the Ig superfamily and primarily expressed on T cells, NK-T cells, and at different levels on thymocytes during T cell differentiation. CD3 is composed of CD3ε, δ, γ and ζ chains. It forms a TCR complex by associating with TCR α/β or γ/δ chains. CD3 plays a critical role in TCR signal transduction, T cell activation, and antigen recognition by binding the peptide/MHC antigen complex.
Other Names:
T cell antigen receptor complex, T3
Structure:
Ig superfamily, CD3/TCR, 20 kD
Distribution:
Thymocytes (differentiation dependent), mature T cells, NK-T cells
Function:
Antigen recognition, TCR signal transduction, T cell activation
