Description
The 1D3/CD84 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD84 which is also known as Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 5 (SLAM family member 5 or Slamf5). CD84 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Cd84 (CD84 antigen) which belongs to the SLAM family within the CD2-subset of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) of cell surface receptors. CD84 is comprised of an extracellular region with one N-terminal Ig-like V-type (IgV) domain followed by one Ig-like C2-type (IgC2) domain. Its cytoplasmic tail contains two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs (ITSMs) and serves as a docking site for activating adaptor molecules, SLAM-associated protein (SAP) or EWS-activated transcript 2 (EAT-2), or inhibitory SH2-binding phosphatases. CD84 is variably expressed on B cells, T cells, NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes, mast cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, and platelets. CD84 is a homotypic adhesion molecule that can function as a coreceptor in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses including the enhancement of T cell proliferation and cytokine production.
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 BV421 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.
