Mouse monoclonal antibody raised against native FAS.
Specificity
This antibody reacts with CD95 (Fas/APO-1), a 46 KDa single chain type I glycoprotein of the tumour necrosis factor/nerve growth factor (TNF/NGF) receptor superfamily, expressed on a variety of normal and neoplastic cells. It seems that This antibody does not induce Fas mediated apoptosis, although it cross-blocks anti-Fas DX2 antibody that recognizes a functional epitope of Fas molecule.
Cross-Reactivity
Human
Immunogen
Native purified FAS from human T cell lymphoma cell line HUT-78.
Flow Cytometry (20 µL in human blood cells 100 µL in whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension) The optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
