- Application Notes
- The antibody has been shown to show depleting activity in vivo. Mice have two alleles for CD8, Lyt2.1, and Lyt2.2, which are restricted to certain mouse strains. Lyt2.1, for example, is expressed in the mouse strains CBA, AKR, C3H, and DBA, whereas Lyt2.2 is expressed in the mouse strains BALB/c and C57BL/6 (B/6). YTS 169.4 was originally raised against CBA mouse thymocytes. However, there are publications in which it has been used in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice, wherein it was used specifically as a pan-reactive Lyt2 reagent (Tavaré et al., 2014, PMID: 24390540).
- Comment
-
This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG2b format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
