Description
The 30B11.1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Delta-like1 (Dll1) which is also known as Delta1 and DL1. Dll1 is a 90-100 kDa type 1 transmembrane protein. It is a member of the Delta/Serrate/Jagged Family of Notch ligands. Notch ligands are classified by the presence of specific structural motifs including an N-terminal Delta-Serrate-LAG-2 (DSL) domain, EGF repeats, and the DOS domain (a specialized EGF repeat). The Notch family of transmembrane receptors and their ligands control cell-fate "decisions" during the development of many organs in a wide variety of animal species. Dll1 is expressed in the paraxial mesoderm and in some cells in the nervous system in early development. In the adult, Dll1 is expressed in a variety of tissues including at high levels in the heart and at various levels by cells within lymphoid tissues. Although Dll1 does not normally appear to play a role in T cell development, Dll1 and Notch interactions are essential for marginal zone B cell development and reportedly promote the differentiation of antibody producing 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 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.
