Description
The 11G2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD156c which is also known as Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 (ADAM10). CD156c is a ~70 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the ADAM family. It is widely expressed on hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. CD156c is expressed on the plasma membrane, as well as by membranes within intracellular compartments and exosomes. CD156c serves as a broadly-reactive endopeptidase that cleaves membrane-bound proteins in a process known as ectodomain shedding or release. It can cleave transmembrane molecules into soluble forms and thereby regulate the functions of a variety of different receptors and ligands that are involved in cellular signaling and adhesion. These include membrane TNF, CX3CL1, CXCL16, Ephrin-A2, Notch and Delta molecules, cadherins, CD23, CD44, IL-6 Receptor/CD126, CD171, and amyloid precursor protein. CD156c expression may be constitutive or induced, such as in inflamed tissues, including arthritic joints and in the nervous system. Dysregulated CD156c expression may be associated with certain cancers and Alzheimer's disease.
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.
