Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Animals were immunized with spleen cells from B10.D2 mice.
Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells.
The antibody defines an antigen on mouse B cells that is expressed on pre B cells and mature B cells.
The antibody is NOT cytotoxic and precipitates molecules with apparent molecular weights between 95000 and 105000 daltons.
The Lyb 8.2 antigen expression is controlled by a locus on chromosome 7 that is closely linked to the Gpi-1 and RP-2 loci.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
Complete culture medium described above supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO. Cell culture tested DMSO is available as ATCC Catalog No. 4-X.
Temperature: 37°C
Atmosphere: 5% CO2
