The PE-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal anti-ABCB1 antibody (Clone UIC2) (ABIN2967169) specifically detects ABCB1 in FACS.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The mouse monoclonal antibody UIC2 recognizes an extracellular epitope on CD243 (MDR-1), an approximately 170 kDa ABC transporter expressed on hematopoietic stem cells, B, T, and NK cells, or on many multidrug resistant cancer cells. This antibody preferentially recognizes CD243 in the process of transporting substrate.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Immunogen
NIH 3T3 cells transfected with human CD243 (MDR-1) cDNA
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Background
ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1,CD243, also known as multidrug resistant protein 1 (MDR-1) or P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an ATP binding cassette (ABC)-containing efflux transporter for xenobiotic lipophilic compounds with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier. It is expressed in many tissues, including the brain, liver, pancreas, testes, kidney, and blood (B, T, NK cells, but not monocytes).,P-Glycoprotein, CLCS, MDR1, PGY1, ABC20, GP170, ABCB1, ABC transporter
