Description
The FR70 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD70, a 30-33-kDa type-II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TNF/NGF superfamily. CD70 is the ligand for CD27 and is expressed primarily on activated B cells. CD70 expression can be induced by activation of splenocytes with lipopolysaccharide and stimulatory antibodies specific for IgM, CD40 or both. mRNA coding for CD70 is transiently expressed after Concanavalin A stimulation of splenocytes or thymocytes. CD70 has been observed to be expressed on dendritic cells of Leishmania major-infected mice. The CD27-CD70 interaction delivers costimulatory signals to T cells and NK cells. It has been reported that FR70 antibody blocks binding of mCD27-Ig fusion protein to mouse Cd70-transfected cells and inhibits some in vitro T-cell- and NK-cell-dependent responses.
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.
