Product Specific Information
Notice: The eVolve™ line of antibody conjugates will be discontinued at the end of February, 2018 and replaced with our improved Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ Super Bright conjugated antibodies for flow cytometry. Individual eVovle catalog numbers will become unavailable as inventory depletes. This item has a corresponding Super Bright 600 format available - please see Product # 63-0037-42. We will continue to offer a selection of Qdot conjugated antibodies.
Description: The OKT3 monoclonal antibody reacts with an epitope on the epsilon-subunit within the human CD3 complex. The OKT3 antibody has been reported to have potent immunosuppressive properties in vivo and has been proven effective in the treatment of renal, heart and liver allograft rejection. The CD3 subunits, gamma, delta, and epsilon chains, are required for proper assembly, trafficking and surface expression of the TCR complex. CD3 is expressed by thymocytes in a developmentally regulated manner and by all mature T cells. Crosslinking of TCR initiates an intracellular biochemical pathway resulting in cellular activation and proliferation.
Applications Reported: This OKT3 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This OKT3 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL per test. A test is defined as the amount of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.
For best results when using antibodies conjugated to eVolve™, we recommend a quick spin of the vial before use and avoid touching the bottom of the vial with the pipet tip.
Laser/Filter Recommendation: eVolve™ 605 can be optimally excited with laser lines from 325-405 nm, and emits near 610 nm. We recommend using the violet (405 nm) laser line for excitation and a 595LP with a 605/40 or 610/20 bandpass filter, or equivalent, for detection.
Fixation Recommendation: Antibodies conjugated to eVolve™ are compatible with eBioscience's fixation and permeabilization buffers.
Excitation: 350-590 nm; Emission: 605 nm; Laser: Ultraviolet Laser, Violet Laser
Storage and handling: For best results when using antibodies conjugated to eVolve™, we recommend a quick spin of the vial before use and avoid touching the bottom of the vial with the pipet tip.
Target Information
The CD3 complex, composed of gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta subunits, is essential for the assembly, trafficking, and surface expression of the T cell receptor (TCR) complex. These subunits are structurally related members of the immunoglobulin superfamily and are encoded by closely linked genes on human chromosome 11. CD3 is expressed by thymocytes in a developmentally regulated manner and by all mature T cells, but not on B or NK cells. The CD3 subunits play a crucial role in transducing antigen-recognition signals into the cytoplasm of T cells. The cytoplasmic tails of CD3 subunits contain a double tyrosine-based motif that associates with cytoplasmic signal transduction molecules, mediating T cell activation through the TCR. Crosslinking of the TCR initiates intracellular biochemical pathways that result in cellular activation, proliferation, and potentially growth arrest and cell survival. CD3 is present on 68-82% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, 65-85% of thymocytes, and Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. Decreased percentages of T lymphocytes may be observed in some autoimmune diseases. Defects in the CD3 gene are associated with CD3 immunodeficiency, highlighting its importance in immune function and regulation.
