Description
The CLB-IVC7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD36 which is also known as Glycoprotein IIIb (GPIIIb, GP3B), Platelet glycoprotein IV (GPIV), Fatty acid translocase (FAT), Platelet collagen receptor (PASIV), Scavenger receptor class B member 3 (SCARB3) or Thrombospondin receptor. CD36 is a ~88 kDa transmembrane that belongs to the scavenger receptor superfamily. The CD36 antigen is expressed on platelets, megakaryocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, erythroid precursors, adipocytes, and some endothelial and epithelial cells. The CD36 antigen is the receptor for extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and thrombospondin. The CD36 antigen can mediate the adhesion of erythrocytes infected with the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The CD36 antigen functions as a scavenger receptor in macrophages.
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.
