Description
The 190909 antibody specifically recognizes a common epitope on the extracellular domains of CD16 (also known as, Fc gamma RIII) and CD32 (Fc gamma RII). CD16 and CD32 serve as low affinity receptors for mouse IgG Fc constant regions and play roles in the activation or inhibition of phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), degranulation, and B cell proliferation. These receptors are variably expressed on B lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, Kupffer cells, granulocytes, mast cells, immature thymocytes, and some activated mature T lymphocytes. CD16 and CD32 are single-pass type I transmembrane glycoproteins with two extracellular Ig-like domains and belong to the Ig superfamily. Ligand-bound CD16 can associate with two disulfide-linked FcR-gamma subunits (FcεRIγ) that contain cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) which deliver activating signals intracellularly. CD32 has an intracellular domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and functions as an inhibitory receptor.
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.
