Background Information


CD45RA is a 205–220 kDa isoform of the CD45 tyrosine phosphatase, expressed on naïve/resting T cells, medullary thymocytes, B cells, and monocytes. It is found on ~40–50% of peripheral CD4⁺ T cells, ~50% of CD8⁺ T cells, and subsets of B cells and monocytes. CD45RA enhances TCR and BCR signaling and associates with molecules like LPAP, CD1–CD4, and galectin-1. Its expression is regulated by cytokines and can be present on some activated T cells. CD45RA-specific antibodies (e.g., HI100) are widely used to identify naïve T cells and study CD4⁺ suppressor/inducer subsets.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I determine the optimal antibody concentration/titer for my experiment?
We recommend titrating each new antibody lot on your own cell type and instrument, since optimal concentration depends on cell density, target expression level, and cytometer sensitivity. Suggested starting dilutions or test sizes (e.g., µg or µl per 10^6 cells) are provided on the product page as a starting reference point, not a fixed requirement.

Can these antibodies be used for intracellular or intranuclear staining, or only surface staining?
Intended use (surface, intracellular, or both) is specified per product, indicated under Application. The appropriate Related Protocol is linked for each product. If you need to detect both surface and intracellular markers in the same panel, confirm each antibody's compatibility with your fixation/permeabilization protocol before combining them.

What controls should I use alongside these antibodies?
Matched isotype controls (same host species, isotype, and conjugate) are available for most clones to help distinguish specific binding from background/non-specific staining and are linked on each product page. Unstained, single-color compensation, and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls are also recommended, especially for multicolor panel design.

Can I combine InnoCyto Flow Cytometry antibodies into a multicolor panel?
Yes — antibodies across our catalog are designed to be panel-compatible, and conjugate options are offered specifically to support multiplexing. When building a panel, pair bright fluorophores with low-expression targets, avoid excessive spectral overlap, and confirm compensation is set up correctly for your specific fluorochrome combination. Use our Panel Builder to simplify the process.
