Description
The 705518 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes C-type lectin domain family 2 member A (CLEC-2A) which is also known as Proliferation-induced lymphocyte-associated receptor (PILAR) or Keratinocyte-associated C-type lectin (KACL). CLEC-2A is a ~35 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by CLEC2A which belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. The extracellular region of CLEC-2A contains one C-type lectin domain. CLEC-2A (PILAR) is expressed on keratinocytes and can activate NK cells through binding to their surface KLRF2 molecules. It is also expressed on activated CD8+ T cells and can costimulate proliferative responses upon interaction with CD161.
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.
