Description
The HTF-1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD142. CD142 is a 45-47 kDa, single chain, type I transmembrane glycoprotein also known as Tissue Factor (TF). CD142 has been referred in the literature as coagulation Factor III or thromboplastin and it is expressed on activated endothelial cells and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes/macrophages. TF associates with factor VIIa to form a complex and acts as an enzyme that initiates the blood coagulation cascade. It is known as the major initiator of clotting in normal hemostasis. CD142 can be induced by various inflammatory mediators in monocytes and vascular endothelial cells. This antibody is useful in inflammation, thrombosis and hemostasis research.
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
4. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
