AbD Serotec Launches Triple Colour Reagent for Studying Canine T Cells
20 July 2007
In the canine veterinary field, antibodies for phenotyping T and B cells are used to investigate a variety of diseases including:
- viral infections (e.g. Canine Distemper Virus),
- parasitic infections (e.g. Leishmaniosis)
- various lymphomas.
In particular antibodies to CD3, CD4, CD8 (T cells) and CD21-like (B cells) are used to determine the expression profiles of lymphocytes in blood samples taken from dogs with multi systemic lymphomas 1. To assist researchers AbD Serotec offers singular antibodies to canine T and B cell markers, as well as a range of dual color reagents for detecting CD3/CD4, CD4/CD8 and CD3/CD8.
In addition, we have just released our novel product TC014 which is a triple color reagent, consisting of FITC, RPE and Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated monoclonal antibodies mixed in optimal ratios. This product, which is currently unique to AbD Serotec, can be used for the simultaneous detection of CD3, CD4 and CD8.
With three conjugated antibodies in one reagent, this exclusive product provides a cost effective option to the customer.
TC014 utilizes clones CA17.A12, YKIX302.9 and YCATE55.9 which are also available as individual antibodies with a host of conjugates.
