Description
The 509F6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Fc receptor-like 5 (FCLR5), a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is also known as CD307e, FCRH5 (Fc receptor homolog 5) and IRTA2 (immunoglobulin superfamily receptor translocation associated 2). FCRL5 (CD307e) is a member of the Immunoglobulin (Ig) gene superfamily with 9 extracellular Ig domains, an intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motif (ITAM)-like sequence and two intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-like sequences. Like other Fc receptor-like proteins, FCRL5 (CD307e) is homologous to FcγR1 (CD64) and binds to immunoglobulins, specifically the IgG isotypes, and it may play a role in the regulatory interactions of immune complexes with B lymphocytes. FCRL5 (CD307e) is differentially expressed in the B cell lineage, with little expression on peripheral blood cells and upregulated expression on plasma cells and some leukemias and lymphomas. mAb 509F6 binds to an epitope within the first 3 Ig domains of FCRL5 and blocks FCRL5's interaction with immune complexes.
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 BB700 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.
