Neutrophils are crucial components of our immune system. Ly6G is highly expressed on neutrophils, which allows the 1A8 clone to be used not only in detection of neutrophils, but also in selective depletion in vivo. It may also be used as a negative selection marker for bone-marrow derived macrophages, which should be Ly6G(-) and F4/80 (+) (see our F4/80 range of antibodies) . The mouse IgG2a version of the antibody, recombinantly produced by Absolute Antibody, could deplete neutrophils in mice more efficiently than the rat version of the antibody. Further, this version increased depleting effector function, and prevented the production of anti-rat antibodies (Olofsen et al., 2022; PMID: 36359801).
This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original rat IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
