The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with PE under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated PE and unconjugated antibody.
Concentration:
0.2 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.
Excitation Laser:
Blue Laser (488 nm) Green Laser (532 nm)/Yellow-Green Laser (561 nm)

Application Notes:
For most successful immunofluorescent staining results, it may be important to maximize signal over background by using a relatively bright fluorochrome-antibody conjugate (Cat. No. 106006) or by using a high sensitivity, three-layer staining technique (e.g., including a biotinylated antibody (Cat. No. 106004) or biotinylated anti-rat IgG second step (Cat. No. 405402), followed by SAv-PE (Cat. No. 405204)). To reduce non-specific binding to cells bearing Fc-receptors, pre-incubation of cells with anti-mouse CD16/CD32, clone 93 (Cat. No. 101301/101302), is recommended prior to immunofluorescent staining.
CD123 is a 70 kD α chain subunit of the IL-3 receptor (IL-3R α). It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed on hematopoietic progenitors, basophils, mast cells, and megakaryocytes. This transmembrane glycoprotein can bind IL-3 with low affinity but cannot transduce signals without association with additional protein partners. CD123 can complex with either the common β chain (CDw131) or the IL-3R β chain (AIC2A) to form high-affinity heterodimeric IL-3 receptors. CDw131 can complex with the α subunits of the mouse IL-3R, IL-5R and GM-CSFR to form high-affinity receptors, while the IL-3 R β subunit is specific for IL-3 but binds with low affinity. IL-3 binding to the receptor complex can induce proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. The 5B11 antibody does not block binding of IL-3 to the high affinity IL-3 receptor.
