Description
The P-3E10 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD298, the β3 subunit of the Na+/K+ ATPase (Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit beta-3). CD298 is a ~45-55 kDa single-pass, type II membrane protein that is encoded by ATP1B3 (ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit beta 3) which belongs to the P-type ATPases superfamily. CD298 is widely expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, and on other hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells and cell lines. The Na+/K+ ATPase is an integral membrane protein complex with enzymatic activity that mediates the active transport and exchange of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. This complex is composed of α and β subunits. The α subunit is a 10-membrane-spanning, catalytic protein that contains binding sites for Na +, K + and ATP. The α subunits are associated with the smaller, regulatory glycoprotein β subunits. Upon ATP hydrolysis, the Na+/K+ ATPase transports Na+ ions out of the cell in exchange for K+ ions that are transported in. This establishes a transmembrane electrochemical gradient that is essential for osmoregulation and for the transport of various nutrients and other molecules by cells. The P-3E10 antibody can reportedly inhibit the activation and proliferation of T cells and B 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 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.
