Anti-Mouse CD115 In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin (AFS98)

Ultra-Low Endotoxin, anti-mouse

This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, also termed CSF-1) receptor is an integral membrane tyrosine kinase, expressed in monocytes (macrophages and their progenitors) and drives growth and development of this blood cell lineage. It also triggers growth and development of mononuclear phagocytes and placental trophoblasts. M-CSF receptor is present in osteoclasts both at mRNA and protein levels. When M-CSF ligand specifically binds to the M-CSF receptor on osteoclasts, it induces receptor dimerization, activation and autophosphorylation of cytoplasmic tyrosine residues M-CSF and its receptor present as candidate therapeutic targets in states of inflammatory bone erosion.

We use the IMPACT test generated by IDEXX Laboratories to guarantee our Ultra Low Endotoxin antibodies are pathogen free. Our rat antibodies are tested for: - Mycoplasma spp - Mycoplasma pulmonis - Pneumonia virus of mice - Kilham's rat virus - Toolan's H1 virus - Rat parvovirus - Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus - Rat cytomegalovirus - Sendai virus - Rat coronavirus - Sialodacryoadenitis virus - Rat minute virus - Seoul virus - Mouse adenovirus - Reovirus 3 - Rat theilovirus

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
