Description: The SA-DA4 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mu heavy chain of human IgM. It does not react with other classes of human immunoglobulin including IgD, IgG, or IgA. IgM is expressed intracellularly, during early stages of B lymphopoiesis, and then on the surface of mature B cells.
Our testing has revealed variations in staining of the non-B cell population that is predicted to be non-specific. This variation can be attributed to both donor variability and the anticoagulant used during blood draw. Therefore, we recommend using sodium citrate as the anticoagulant to minimize non-specific staining by this antibody.
Applications Reported: This SA-DA4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This SA-DA4 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 µL (0.25 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) 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.
Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.
Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222-49) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333-57) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.
Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 775 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.
IgM is expressed intracellularly, during early stages of B lymphopoiesis, and then on the surface of more mature B cells in the bone marrow and peripheral B cells.
