BD, 756304, RB545 Mouse Anti-Human SUSD2 W5C5

The W5C5 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with SUSD2 (sushi domain containing 2), which is expressed on mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and on some cancers and neoplastic cell lines. It is not detected on hematopoietic cells of the peripheral blood and bone marrow. SUSD2 is a type I transmembrane protein that may interact with galectin-1 and the potential cytokine C10orf99, through which it may affect cell growth and immune responsiveness. It has a large extracellular region that contains a sushi domain (a conserved sequence that is often associated with proteins of the complement system). SUSD2 is a marker that is useful for identifying and isolating MSC from bone marrow and endometrial tissue, and those MSC may be induced to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types. Varying levels of SUSD2 expression may correlate with either suppression or enhancement of the growth of different types of neoplastic cells, presumably via a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms.

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. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
3. 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.
4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
5. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
6. Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
7. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
8. Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

9. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
10. 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.
