Description
The AH9R7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the Interleukin-9 Receptor (IL-9R, IL-9Rα) also known as CD129. CD129 is a Type I transmembrane glycoprotein and a Type I Cytokine Receptor (Hemopoietin) Superfamily member. The high-affinity, signaling IL-9 Receptor complex is comprised of CD129 (IL-9 Receptor alpha chain subunit) and CD132 (common γ chain/γc). CD129 is expressed by hematopoietic progenitors, thymocytes, T cells, B cells, macrophages, eosinophils, mast cells, epithelia cells, muscle cells and neurons. IL-9 signals through the IL-9R complex (ie, through JAK, STAT and related signal pathways) to regulate the growth, proliferation, differentiation and survival of myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells, thymocytes, T cells, B cells and some tumor cells.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon BUV563 under optimal conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.
1. This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
2. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
3. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
5. 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.
