CCR10 is a G protein-linked seven transmembrane domain protein expressed by T cells and B cell subsets, and functions as a receptor for CCL27. CCR10 mediates lymphocyte migration to the skin and mucosa, and its expression correlates with the metastatic capacity of melanomas.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:
Flow Cytometry: Neat; 10ul labels 1x10e6 cells. Validated for use with mouse B16F1 cells and rat splenocytes.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Flow Cytometry Protocol:
1. Cells may be Fc-blocked with 1ug of mouse or rat IgG/10e5 cells for 15 minutes at RT. Do not wash excess blocking IgG from this reaction.
2. After blocking, add 10ul of C2100-16A to up to 1x10e6 cells and incubate for 30 minutes at RT.
3. Remove unbound antibody by washing the cells twice in Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (F4568-10). Note that whole blood requires a RBC lysis step at this point using Flow Cytometry Mouse Lyse Buffer.
4. Resuspend the cells in Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer for final analysis by flow cytometry. As a control for this analysis, cells in a separate tube should be treated with APC-labeled rat IgG2B antibody.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4 degrees C as an undiluted liquid. Stable for at 12 months at 4 degrees C. Freezing allophycocyanin conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. Allophycocyaninconjugates are sensitive to light.
