Description
The 9B1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD199 which is also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 9 (CCR9) or C-C chemokine receptor type 9 (C-C CKR-9). CD199 is a ~42 kDa seven-transmembrane protein and member of the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family. CD199 binds to CCL25, which is likewise known as thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK) or small inducible chemokine 25 (Scya25). CCL25 is selectively and constitutively expressed in the thymic cortex and small intestinal epithelium. CD199 (CCR9) is highly expressed on CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes and mature naïve CD8+ T cells, but not naïve CD4+ T cells, in the peripheral lymphoid organs. CD199 (CCR9) is also expressed on small intestinal B cells, and on subsets of memory CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, and dendritic cells. The CCR9/CCL25 pathway plays important roles in T cell development and gut-associated immune functions. It is especially involved in the recruitment of CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and the homing of other lymphocytes to the gut. Dysregulation of this pathway is associated with inflammatory responses, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease.
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® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application. For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).
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. 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.
2. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
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.
