Description
The miap301 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the extracellular domain of CD47, also known as Integrin-Associated Protein (IAP). CD47 is a 50-kDa plasma membrane protein with an extracellular immunoglobulin variable region-like domain, a multiple membrane-spanning segment, and a short C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. IAP is often physically associated with β3 integrins, and it may act as a transducer element in activation mediated by these integrins. CD47 is expressed by a wide variety of cell types, including some cells lacking integrins, such as erythrocytes. The cytoplasmic tail region is expressed as alternatively spliced forms, which are differentially expressed in diverse tissues, suggesting that IAP may have distinct functions in various tissues. CD47 and its ligand, CD172a, are proposed to mediate bi-directional signaling to modify neural synaptic activity and regulate the phagocytic activities of macrophages.
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.
