Description
25-D1.16.rMAb is a recombinant monoclonal antibody derived from 25-D1.16 hybridoma cells. The 25-D1.16.rMAb specifically recognizes the ovalbumin (OVA)-derived peptide SIINFEKL (amino acid residues 257-264 of OVA) bound to the MHC class l antigen, H-2Kb. It does not bind to either unbound H-2Kb or H-2Kb bound to an irrelevant peptide. The 25-D1.16 antibody has been found useful in a variety of in vitro and in vivo experimental model systems to study the nature of antigen-presenting cells that can present the SIINFEKL peptide in an MHC class I-restricted fashion to T cells. The 25-D1.16 monoclonal antibody can reportedly inhibit the T cell response to H-2Kb-SIINFEKL and be used for immunofluorescent or immunohistochemical staining of H-2Kb-SIINFEKL-positive cells.
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.
