Mab

MaxLight 490

4°C Do Not Freeze

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. Labeled with MaxLight™490.

Influenza B/Lee/40 and B/Singapore/-222/79 viruses.

MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73, 000.

The influenza viruses, classified as type A, B and C, are members of the Orthomyxoviridae family which differ in their epidemiology and host ranges and lack serological cross-reactivity of their internal components, especially their matrix proteins and nucleoprotein. Influenza B virus is a slow-mutating single stranded RNA virus subject to antigenic drift which, although enough to prevent lasting immunity, prevents influenza B from causing pandemics.

Applications:
Suitable for use in FLISA, Western Blot and Immunofluorescence. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by researcher.

Hybridoma:
Spleen cells from immunized BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the P3 Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cell line.

Storage and Stability:
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™490 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.

Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
