Antibody information

Hamster monoclonal IgG

Company: MBL

Antibody: MFG-E8

Catalog number: D199-3

Summary: Hamster monoclonal IgG against recombinant mouse MFG-E8. Reacts with mouse MFG-E8 short and long forms on western blot and immunohistochemistry.

Validation Method

Immunohistochemistry

Sample

Hearts of WT or MFG-E8 KO mice. Frozen tissue sections were fixed in acetone.

Primary incubation

1:200 dilution overnight at 4°C.

Detection

Images were captured and analyzed using an epifluorescence microscope (BZ-9000; Keyence) or a confocal microscope (A1Rsi; Nikon).

Figure

Left ventricle sections from infarcted MFG-E8 KO mice (CD45.2+) transplanted with the bone marrow cells of WT mice (CD45.1+ ) were stained with anti-CD45.1 (green) and anti–MFG-E8 (red) antibodies (n = 3). Scale bar: 50 μm. Please see Figure 7a in the article [1].

Clone note

The same clone (18A2-G10) is sold as LifeSpan Biosciences LS-C179452; MBL International D199-3.
