Description

Description: MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73,000. Recognizes a 55kD porcine homologue to the human CD4 antigen found on the surface of helper-T cells. MIL-17 was confirmed as a member of the CD4a cluster at the 'Third International Workshop on Swine Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens' (Haverson et al. 2001). Porcine CD4 is a type 1 trans-membrane member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Pigs appear unusual amongst mammalian species as they appear to have four populations of resting T lymphocytes. In addition to the two populations of mutually exclusive CD4+/CD8- and CD4-/CD8+ lymphocytes, they also appear to have significant populations of CD4-/CD8- and CD4+/CD8+ cells. Lymphoblasts with a double positive phenotype have been described in other species but this is not the case for mature T lymphocytic calls (Saalmuller et al. 1987) Stains a population of cells with characteristic lymphocyte morphology in immunohistochemistry (Inman et al. 2010).
