Description
Reacts with CD16b, a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol-anchored (GPI) protein expressed on human neutrophils. Human CD16 is the low affinity Fc gamma receptor III (Fc gamma RIII) and shows two distinct forms coded by two linked genes. One form is CD16a, a polypeptide-anchored form (Fc gamma RIIIA), present on natural killer cells and macrophages. The other form is CD16b the GPI-anchored form, Fc gamma RIIIB, found on human neutrophils. CD16b is polymorphic and the two codominant alleles are referred to as Neutrophil Antigen 1 (NA1) and Neutrophil Antigen 2 (NA2). Clone CLBgran11.5 reacts with neutrophils expressing the NA1 molecule. CD16b has been reported to participate in immune complex binding by resting neutrophils and also in neutrophil transendothelial migration by interacting with integrins during the inflammation response process.
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 BUV496 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.
