Clone: VI-AP and VI-AP
Label: FITC,PE
Background: This ready to use Negative Control reagent contains a combination of fluorescein and phycoerythrin conjugated mouse immunoglobulin molecules of IgG1 isotype, which have been selected on the basis of their binding characteristics: no specific binding to human intracellular or cell surface antigens, same low range of nonspecific binding to human leukocytes as other COMBI-IC-Reagents. Like all other COMBI-IC-reagents, this reagent should be used in combination with our FIX&PERM? Cell Permeabilization Kit (Cat.No. GAS-002) These isotype control IgG1 are suitable as negative controls to be used in combination with COMBI-IC reagents for the: - Enumeration of Myeloid Cells - Analysis of Myeloid Differentiation Stage - Enumeration of B-cells and Precursors - Enumeration of T-cells and Precursors - Analysis of Leukemia Cells - Analysis of Immunodeficiency States Results must be put within the context of other diagnostic tests as well as the clinical history of the patient by a certified professional before final interpretation.
Specificity: VI-AP reacts with calf intestine alkaline phosphatase and does not show cross-reactivity with human proteins.
Formulation: PBS pH 7.2, 1% BSA, 0.05% NaN3

Caution: For professional users only. This reagent contains sodium azide. To avoid the development of hazardous conditions, reagents containing azide should be diluted in running water prior to be discarded. Similar to the work with other biological products, proper handling procedures are recommended.
