The 2D10.4 monoclonal antibody, also known as 2D10, specifically recognizes CD80 which is otherwise known as Activation B7-1 antigen (B7-1), B7.1, or B7. This ~60 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein is encoded by CD80 (CD80 molecule) that belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily (IgSF). CD80 (B7-1) is comprised of an extracellular region with an IgV-like domain followed by an IgC-like domain, a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail. It is variably expressed on activated B cells, activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. CD80 (B7-1) serves as a ligand for the CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4) coreceptors that are differentially expressed on T cells. CD80 (B7-1) engagement of CD28 costimulates T cells activated through their TCR-CD3 complex whereas its interaction with CD152 (CTLA-4) generates an inhibitory signal for T cell responses.
BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD CompBead to ensure that BD CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
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 to the dye under optimum conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.
1. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
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. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
4. 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.
