CD178 cell surface antigen is a 40kD glycoprotein also known as Fas ligand (CD95L). CD178 is a member of the TNF family, which is expressed by activated T lymphocytes and NK cells. The protein may exist as either a membrane bound or a cleaved soluble form. CD178 plays an important role in T cell development and cytotoxicity. Binding of CD178 to Fas (CD95) results in the induction of apoptosis. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, FLISA and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 10ul labels 10e6 cells in 100ul. Results maybe enhanced using membrane permabilization. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: APC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
