This antibody recognizes an unidentified antigen in the cytoplasm of mature granulocytes and can be used as a granulocyte marker in normal tissues or inflammatory processes. The granulocyte marker antibody shows no reactivity with any other cell type in human tissues. Markers of myeloid cells are useful in the identification of different levels of cellular differentiation. Clone BM-2 mAb reacts with early precursor and mature forms of human myeloid cells. It is useful for the detection of myeloid leukemias and granulocytic sarcomas.

Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells IF: 1-2 ug/ml IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1) Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2) The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Granulocyte Marker antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. No special pretreatment is required for staining of formalin/paraffin tissues.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
