Description
The 6B7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to IL-17 Receptor B (IL-17RB), which is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein and a component of the heterodimeric receptor for IL-25 (also known as IL-17E). Several components of the IL-17RB signaling mechanism have been identified, including ACT1, TRAF4, SMURF2, DAZAP2, and STAT5. The cytoplasmic tails of both of the IL-25 Receptor components, IL-17RA and IL-17RB, and ACT1 contain the SEFIR (similar expression to fibroblast growth factor genes and IL-17R) domain that is essential for IL-25R-mediated signaling. Signaling through IL-17RB mediates Th2 immune responses and is responsible for pathogenesis in a murine model for asthma. IL-17RB is found on subsets of iNKT cells, Th2 cells, some myeloid cells in solid organs, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in lung, peritoneum, mesenteric lymph nodes and bone marrow.
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 BUV661 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.
