The FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal anti-Myeloperoxidase antibody (Clone MPO421-8B2) (ABIN2749159) specifically detects Myeloperoxidase in ICFC.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The mouse monoclonal antibody MPO421-8B2 recognizes human myeloperoxidase, a heme protein present in intracellular granules of myeloblasts, neutrophils and monocytes. It is a marker of acute myelogenous leukemias and acute lymphoblastic leukemias.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 4 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests. Intracellular staining.

Background
Myeloperoxidase,Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme enzyme that is localized in azurophilic (primary) granules of myeloid cells and its synthesis occurs at an early stage of differentiation. The mature myeloperoxidase is a tetramer composed of two light (12 kDa) and two heavy (60 kDa) chains. This enzyme uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize numerous substrates, including serotonin, melatonin or chloride, to produce reactive free radicals that contribute to immune reactions of myeloid cells against pathogens. Myeloperoxidase functions not only in host defense by mediating efficient microbial killing but also can contribute to progressive tissue damage in chronic inflammatory states such as atherosclerosis or acute pancreatitis.,MPO
