Description
The BZ2E3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CCRL2 (C-C chemokine receptor-like 2) which is also known as Lipopolysaccharide-inducible C-C chemokine receptor (L-CCR/Lccr). CCRL2 is a chemokine receptor-like, 7-transmembrane protein that can bind CCL19 or the nonchemokine chemoattractant, chemerin/RARRES2. CCRL2 is expressed by a variety of cell types including mast cells, macrophages and some endothelial cells. CCRL2 appears to play various roles in regulating chemokine activities, e.g., by binding and internalizing excess local levels of the CCL19/MIP-3β chemokine. Alternatively, endothelial cell-expressed CCRL2 can bind and present the chemerin/RARRES2 chemoattractant to lymphoid cells that express the functional signaling receptor, CMKLR1, and promote their adhesion.
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.
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. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
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.
