Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

Reacts with platelet-endothelial cell tetraspan antigen-3 (PETA-3), a 27 kD membrane glycoprotein, expressed on platelets, megakaryocytes, lymphocytes (weak), monocytes, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. PETA-3 (CD151) associates with β1 integrin in certain tissues. This has also been shown with other tetraspan superfamily members, like CD9, CD63 and α5β1. Reports indicate that this association or colocalization of CD151 with β1 integrin in tissues suggests a functional role of this molecule, however, this role has not been elucidated yet. It has also been reported that antibody 14A2.H1 is capable of platelet activation in vitro. Studies showed that different clones of CD151 monoclonal antibodies display strikingly different patterns of binding to human haemopoietic cells and tissue sections, and that this is due at least in part to the presence of the protein in complexes with different integrins.
