DATA SHEET
Brilliant Violet 785™ anti-mouse CD3ε Antibody
Clone 145-2C11
CD3ε is a 20 kD transmembrane protein, also known as CD3 or T3. It is a member of the Ig superfamily and primarily expressed on T cells, NK-
T cells, and at different levels on thymocytes during T cell differentiation. CD3ε forms a TCR complex by associating with the CD3δ, γ and ζ
chains, as well as the TCR α/β or γ/δ chains. CD3 plays a critical role in TCR signal transduction, T cell activation, and antigen recognition by
binding the peptide/MHC antigen complex.
Product Details
Reactivity Mouse
Formulation Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and BSA (origin USA).
The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with Brilliant Violet 785™ under
optimal conditions.
Storage & Handling The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged
exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Usage Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with Flow cytometric analysis.
For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It
is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Brilliant Violet 785™ excites at 405 nm and emits at 785 nm. The bandpass filter 780/60 nm is recommended for detection, although filter
optimization may be required depending on other fluorophores used. Be sure to verify that your cytometer configuration and software
setup are appropriate for detecting this channel. Refer to your instrument manual or manufacturer for support. Brilliant Violet 785™ is a

Application Notes
Clone 145-2C11 is useful for in vitro blocking of target-specific CTL-mediated cell lysis1, as well as T cell activation assays, inducing
proliferation and cytokine production1,2,7,12,16. It also induces apoptosis in immature thymocytes32, and in vivo T cell depletion8-10.
Additional reported applications (for relevant formats of this clone) include: immunoprecipitation1, immunohistochemical staining14,15 of
acetone- fixed frozen sections and zinc-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, Western blotting4, complement-mediated cytotoxicity6, in vitro and in
vivo stimulation of T cells1,2,7,12,16, immunofluorescent staining5, and in vivo T cell depletion8-10. The 145-2C11 antibody has been reported
to block the binding of 17A2 antibody to CD3 epsilon- specific T cells11. Clone 145-2C11 is not recommended for formalin-fixed paraffin
embedded sections. The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/µg, Azide-Free,
0.2 µm filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 100314). For in vivo studies or highly sensitive assays, we recommend Ultra-
LEAF™ purified antibody (Cat. No. 100340) with a lower endotoxin limit than standard LEAF™ purified antibodies (Endotoxin <0.01 EU/µg).
