Julie, others . . .
If you look at the web site, you'll see reference to Mouse, Rat, and Human reagents.
Nowhere does it say that the data shown is for Human only . . . a tad misleading, no?

Mark -
It seems this link only advertises anti-human antibodies.  It has been seen
by many labs, including mine, that PE-Cy5 conjugates bind to  B cells from
the NOD mouse strain, which Keith is referring to.

Julie
P.S.  I also do not believe this is an Fc receptor binding, as we routinely
use an antibody against Fcgamma II/III Receptor (clone 2.4G2) when we stain.
