The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration:
0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C.
Application:
FC - Quality tested IP*, IHC(Frozen)* - *This application has been reported in the literature.
Recommended Usage:
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 ≤ 0.5 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume or 100 µl of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes:
Additional reported (for the relevant formats) applications include: immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections, immunoprecipitation, and activation4-7 of T lymphocytes. The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm sterile-filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 300314).

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes stained with purified HIT3a and detected with anti-mouse IgGs FITC
Description:
CD3ε is a 20 kD chain of the CD3/T-cell receptor (TCR) complex which is composed of two CD3ε, one CD3γ, one CD3δ, one CD3ζ (CD247), and a T-cell receptor (α/β or γ/δ) heterodimer. It is found on all mature T lymphocytes, NK-T cells, and some thymocytes. CD3, also known as T3, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that plays a role in antigen recognition, signal transduction, and T cell activation. The HIT3a antibody is able to stimulate T cell activation.
Other Names:
T3, CD3ε
Structure:
Ig superfamily, with the subunits of CD3γ, CD3δ, ? (CD247) and TCR (α/β or γ/δ) forms CD3/TCR complex, 20 kD
Distribution:
Mature T and NK-T cells, thymocyte differentiation
Function:
Antigen recognition, signal transduction, T cell activation
Ligand Receptor:
Peptide antigen bound to MHC
