Scientific Data Images for Mouse CD3 Antibody

CD3 antibody in Mouse Splenocytes by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

CD3 in Mouse Splenocytes.

CD3 was detected in immersion fixed mouse splenocytes using Rat Anti-Mouse CD3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4841) at 3 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to plasma membrane.

CD3 antibody in Mouse Brain.

CD3 in Mouse Brain.

CD3 was detected in perfusion fixed HSV-1 infected frozen sections of mouse brain (perivascular cuffing) using 10 µg/mL Rat Anti-Mouse CD3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4841) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the NorthernLights™ 493-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (green; NL015) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Detection of CD3 in Mouse Thymus.

CD3 was detected in perfusion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Mouse Thymus using Rat Anti-Mouse CD3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB4841) at 15 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC005). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell surface of lymphocytes.

Background: CD3

Monoclonal 17A2 was generated by immunizing rats with a T-cell hybridoma (1). This antibody has been shown to react with the epsilon chain of the CD3 complex (1). The CD3 protein complex is expressed on thymocytes and mature T-cells and, therefore, is a useful reagent to monitor T-cell frequencies in tissues.
