Description
The UP-D1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Immune receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (IREM-1). IREM-1 is encoded by CD300LF. It is also known as CD300 antigen-like family member F (CD300f), CMRF35-like molecule 1 (CLM-1/CLM1), NK inhibitory receptor (NKIR), or Immunoglobulin superfamily member 13 (IgSF13). IREM-1/CD300f is expressed on monocytes, dendritic cells, granulocytes, and mast cells. IREM-1 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the CMRF family of the Ig gene superfamily. The long intracellular region of IREM-1 contains two classical immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM). Ligand-bound IREM-1 can transduce negative regulatory signals intracellularly by recruiting SHP1 or SHIP phosphatases that in turn dephosphorylate tyrosine residues within activating cell signaling molecules. CD300f may thus play a role in regulating inflammatory responses involving myeloid cells.
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.
