This product recognizes the bovine WC10 cell surface antigen, expressed by a subpopulation of CD2+ T cells and weakly by most B cells. WC10 has recently been described as being the bovine homologue of human CD26. Myeloid cells and the majority of WCI+ T cells do not express CD26.
CD26 expression is also seen by some non-hematopoietic cells, especially on gut epithelium.
The CD26 antigen is a heterodimer of 39kD and 115kD proteins.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
