Description
The C40-1457 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD271 that is also known as the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR). CD271 is 75 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein likewise known as TNFRSF16 that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. CD271 has been found localized to neuronal axons, Schwann cells, and perineural cells of peripheral nerves. It is also expressed by some epithelial, mesenchymal and lymphoid tissues. NGFR is the receptor for nerve growth factor (NGF), a polypeptide that is essential for normal development of the nervous system. NGF promotes survival and differentiation of sympathetic and sensory neurons during embryological development of the peripheral nervous system. NGF binds to two distinctive surface receptors, the p/140[prototrk] and p75[NGFR]. High affinity binding of NGF requires that both receptor molecules be expressed. NGFR is expressed on human and rat lymphocytes. A subset of lymphoid cells in the spleen, lymph nodes, and follicular dendritic cells in germinal centers of reactive lymph nodes were found to express CD271. It has been reported that NGFR interaction with its ligand, NGF, may play a role in immunoregulation. NGF may also function as a B-cell growth factor.
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.
