Description
The 11G7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD282, which is also known as Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). CD282 is expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, and dendritic cells. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a critical role in antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, TLRs have been shown to activate a number of signal transduction pathways which lead to the induction of genes involved in host defense. TLRs are type-1 transmembrane receptors characterized by the presence of extracellular leucine-rich repeat and intracellular Toll/IL-1 receptor domains. At least 12 mammalian TLRs have been identified, each recognizing a distinct bacterial or viral pathogen-associated molecular pattern, termed PAMP. Peptidoglycan from Gram-positive bacteria, lipoproteins and lipopeptides from several bacteria, glycophosphatidylinositol, lipoarabinomannan, porins, and zymosan from yeast have been reported to be the ligands for TLR2. It has been reported that mAb 11G7 inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines via certain TLR2 ligands including TLR2/TLR1 ligands, lipoarabinomannan and PAM3CSK4. However, 11G7 antibody does not inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines with zymosan, a TLR2/TLR6 ligand. Please note that this application has not been tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen.
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.
