DESCRIPTION
The PAC-1 antibody is derived from the fusion of SP-2 mouse myeloma cells with splenic lymphocytes from BALB/c mice that were immunized with human platelets.
The PAC-1 recognizes an epitope on the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (gpIIb/IIIa, αIIbβ3) complex of activated platelets at or near the platelet fibrinogen receptor.

FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate, is a fluorochrome with a molecular weight of 389 Da. FITC is sensitive to pH changes and photobleaching. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, FITC and Alexa Fluor® 488 cannot be used simultaneously. FITC is relatively dim and should be reserved for highly expressed markers whenever possible.
