Description
The 2-69 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to 2B4 which is also known as CD244. CD244 is an approximately 63-70 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It is a SLAM submember (SLAMF4) and CD2 family member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD244 was originally identified in the mouse as a non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity mediator present on NK cells and CD8+ T cells. In humans, CD244 is expressed on NK cells, γδ T cells, subsets of effector and memory CD8+ T cells, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. This expression pattern suggests a broad role for CD244 in the regulation of leukocyte activation. CD244 binds CD48 with high affinity. CD244 may serve both stimulatory and inhibitory functions depending on a number of factors. These include the intensity and duration of CD244 interactions with its ligands as well as the presence of other signals generated through different receptor-ligand interactions. 2B4 was clustered as CD244 in the VIIth HLDA workshop.
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.
