Description
The YLI-90 monoclonal antibody reacts with the B6 mouse Ly-49I receptor. Ly49I, a member of the Ly49 family with inhibitory function, is a homodimer type II transmembrane protein and contains an Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif (ITIM). YLI-90 binds to subpopulations of NK, NKT and T cell lineages in the C57Bl/6 strain. This antibody does not bind to cells from BALB/c, SJL or AKR/J mice.
Applications Reported
YLI-90 has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested
The YLI-90 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of C57Bl/6 and BALB/c mouse splenocyte suspensions and can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 105 to 108 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
