آنتی بادی مونوکلونال فلوسایتومتری Lambda-PerCP-Cyanine5.5 ، کلون Polyclonal

Name: Flow Cytometry Antibody Lambda-PerCP-Cyanine5.5, Clone Polyclonal

• Lambda-PerCP-Cyanine5.5 is a polyclonal antibody (pAb) labelled with the tandem Peridin chlorophyll protein-Cyanine 5.5 (PerCP-Cyanine5.5) and designed for use as a direct immunofluorescence reagent in the identification and enumeration of cells that express human Lambda immunoglobulin Light Chains by flow cytometry (FC). Antibodies to Lambda Light Chains are useful for the identification of clonal excess in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders together with a panel of other antibodies. Anti-Lambda Light Chains reacts with free Lambda Chains as well as Lambda Chains in intact immunoglobulin molecules. This reagent must be used by FC qualified personal.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION

Human lymphocytes may be classified in three main populations according to their biological function and their cell surface antigen expression: T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and Natural Killer cells (NK). B lymphocytes are the producers of antibodies and mediate humoral immunity particularly effective against toxins, whole bacteria, and free viruses. Most B cells, with the exception of pre-B progenitors, pre B-cells, and mature plasma cells, express immunoglobulin on their surface. Each cell expresses only one light chain type (Kappa or Lambda). In normal peripheral blood and lymph nodes, there is a mixture of Kappa positive and Lambda positive cells, with two-thirds of the cells expressing Kappa and one-third expressing Lambda. The Lambda immunoglobulin Light Chain count is generally expressed as a percentage of B cells present in the sample which can be determined by flow cytometry based on its positive expression of CD19. Since every flow cytometer has different operating characteristics each laboratory must determine its optimal operating procedure and the combination of markers used to identify the target cell population.
