Description
The 9E9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Fc receptor, IgG, low affinity IV (FcγRIV), which is also known as CD16-2. FcγRIV is encoded by Fcgr4 and belongs to the family of receptors for the Fc region of IgG (FcγRs), which also includes FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32), and FcγRIII (CD16) within the Ig superfamily. FcγRIV is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. FcγRIV, which serves as a ligand-biding subunit, requires the common Fcγ chain for expression and signaling. This complex serves as a cell activating receptor when bound by IgG2a or IgG2b. FcγRIV plays various roles in inflammation including neutrophil trafficking and mast cell degranulation. FcγRIV can also function as a low-affinity IgE receptor and promote IgE-induced inflammation. The 9E9 antibody can reportedly inhibit cellular FcγRIV (CD16-2) function and block non-antigen-specific binding of immune complexes to improve the quality of immunological assays.
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
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 and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
2. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
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. 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.
