Description
The 15C4 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1 or hLOX-1). LOX-1 is an ~31 kDa single pass type II membrane glycoprotein that contains an extracellular C-type lectin-like domain. LOX-1 is encoded by OLR1 (Oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1). This gene belongs to a subfamily of the NK cell C-type lectin-like (CLEC) receptor family and is likewise known as C-type lectin domain family 8 member A (CLEC8A). LOX-1 (OLR1) is expressed on macrophages, platelets, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells. These cells can upregulate expression of the scavenger receptor in response to inflammatory and oxidative mediators. LOX-1 (OLR1) functions as a scavenger receptor identified as Scavenger receptor class E member 1 (SCARE1 or SR-E1) which plays a role in phagocytosis, endocytosis, and cytokine production. This receptor binds to multiple ligands including lipoproteins, oxidized LDL, C-reactive protein, and heat shock proteins released by apoptotic cells. It may play a role in vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis.
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.
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.

4. 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.
5. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
6. 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.

10. 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.
