ANTIBODIES
RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (flow cytometry, neutralization, blotting, histochemistry, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below. All products are for in vitro research use only-not for use in or on humans or animals-not for use in diagnostics. Price/availability/specifications subject to change without notice.

Package Size: purfified antibody in PBS with 0.09% sodium azide
Clone: RA3-682
Ig Isotype: rat IgG2ak
Immunogen: Abelson murine leukemia virus induced pre-B tumor cells
Uses: This antibody has been tested by immunofluorescent staining (1 µg/million cells) with flow cytometric analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Other reported applications include immunohistochemical staining (IHC) of acetone-fixed frozen and formalin- or zinc-fixed paraffin-embedded sections,(16) immunoprecipitation (1)and modulation of B-cell responses in vitro and in vivo.(13,14,15) Since applications vary, each investigator must determine dilutions appropriate for individual use.
Storage: Store at 4 Deg C.
Precautions: For In vitro research Use Only. Not for use in or on humans or animals or for diagnostics. Sodium azide may form explosive compounds in presence of heavy metals or under acidic conditions. Flush drains with copious amounts of water to prevent buildup of explosive compounds.
Background:
The RA3-6B2 antibody reacts with an epitope on the extracellular domain of CD45 glycoprotein which is dependent upon the expression of exon A and specific carbohydrate residues.2 It is expressed on B lymphocytes at all stages from pro-B through mature and activated B cell (,1,2,3,4) and levels of expression of CD45R/B220 on the B-cell lineage appear to be developmentally regulated.(3,4,5) It is also found on the abnormal T cells involved in the lymphadenopathy of lpr/lpr (6) and gld/gld (7) mutant mice, on lytically active subsets of lymphokine-activated killer cells (NK cells and non-MHC-restricted CTL),8 on apoptotic T lymphocytes of mice injected with bacterial superantigen,9 on a population of NK-cell precursors in the bone marrow,10 and on B-lymphocyte, T-lymphocyte, and macrophage progenitors in fetal liver.11 The CD45R/B220 antigen is not on hematopoietic stem cells, plasma cells, T lymphocytes, or MHC-restricted CTL. CD45 is a member of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) family: Itsintracellular (COOH-terminal) region contains two PTP catalytic domains, and the extracellular region is highly variable due to alternative splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6 (designated A, B, and C, respectively), plus differing levels of glycosylation.(2) The CD45 isoforms detected in the mouse are cell type-, maturation-, and activation state-specific.2 The CD45 isoforms play complex roles in T-cell and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction.(2) CD45R/B220 is commonly used as a pan B-cell marker; however, CD19 expression, detected by mAb 1D3, is reported to be more restricted to the B-cell lineage.(12) mAb RA3-6B2 has been reported to enhance isotype switching during in vitro B-cell responses (13) and to inhibit in vivo B-cell responses.(14,15)
