Description
The OX-119 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Signal-regulatory protein gamma (SIRP-gamma or SIRPγ) which is also known as CD172g or Signal-regulatory protein beta 2 (SIRP-beta-2 or SIRPβ2). SIRPγ (CD172g) is a ~55 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by SIRPG, which belongs to the SIRPβ2 subfamily within the Ig gene superfamily. The SIRPγ (CD172g) extracellular domain contains one amino-terminal IgV-like domain and two IgC-like domains, and a short cytoplasmic region with no known motifs. It is expressed on mature thymocytes, CD4+ T-cells, CD8+ T-cells, CD56-bright natural killer (NK) cells, all activated NK cells and some B cells. SIRPγ (CD172g) binds to CD47 (integrin-associated protein/IAP) that is widely expressed on most hematopoietic cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and many tumor cell lines. SIRPγ (CD172g) may play a regulatory role in T cell-T cell interactions and may induce apoptosis through CD47.
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.
