We are looking for information on antibodies specific for rat B cells,
particulary early progenitor and pre-B cells. We have been using a
monoclonal (anti-CD45RA from clone HIS24, Pharmingen, San Diego, CA)
that, in theory, is specific for such cells in rat, but we've had
cross-reactions with granulocytes in our preparations. Has anyone
out there had any experience with HIS24? Does anyone know of another
antibody that might work? Any info. would be appreciated.
