This mAb is specific for cells expressing the H-2D antigen coded for by the d haplotype. The reaction pattern of this antibody with a panel of inbred and recombinant haplotypes demonstrates that the antibody detects a private determinant (H-2.4) of the H-2Dd antigen. This antibody can be used to quantitate or eliminate cells bearing H-2Dd (H-2.4) antigen from the appropriate strains of mice.
Flow cytometry. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
