This antibody recognises mouse aminopeptidase N (APN), a cell surface protein homologous with human CD13. In the mouse, CD13 is a non-covalently linked homodimer of approximately 150 kDa subunits expressed by a variety of cells including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cell and veiled cells.Rat anti Mouse CD13 antibody, clone R3-63 has been reported to block mouse APN enzyme activity.
Applications
Flow Cytometry
Dilutions
Flow Cytometry: Neat, Use 10µl of the suggested working dilution to label 106 cells in 100µl. The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind to cells expressing low affinity Fc receptors. This may be reduced by using SeroBlock FcR (BUF041A/BUF041B).
