F4/80 antibody stained on mouse intestine

Fig 3.Immunofluorescence image of mouse small intestine stained with Rat anti Mouse F4/80 (MCA497PE), red and Rat anti Mouse CD45 (MCA1031A488), green; nuclei are stained with DAPI, blue.

The image highlights macrophages within the lamina propria.

Alexa Fluor® conjugated antibodies produce outstanding results in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry experiments.

Some of the main features of Alexa Fluor® fluorophores are:

  • Brightness - brighter and more fluorescent than conventional dyes
  • Photostability - more photostable than conventional fluorophores such as FITC and PE
  • pH stability - insensitive to pH changes over a broad range
  • Narrow emission spectra -  ideal for multicolor and multi-plexing experiments
