Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Immunohistochemistry: The FDC-M1 clone reactive against mouse follicular dendritic cells is tested for immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections. Tissues tested were mouse spleen, thymus and small intestine. The antibody stains follicular dendritic cells and their processes. For optimal indirect immunohistochemical staining, the FDC-M1 antibody should be titrated (1-10 to 1-50 dilution) and visualized via a three-step staining procedure in combination with polyclonal, biotin conjugated anti-rat Igs (multiple adsorbed) (Cat. No. 559286) as the secondary antibody and  treptravidin-HRP (Cat. No. 550946) together with the DAB detection system (Cat. No. 550880). More conveniently, the anti-rat Ig HRP detection kit (Cat. No. 551013) that provides the biotinylated secondary antibody, antibody diluent and the detection system can be used to stain for anti-mouse follicular dendritic cells. Adetailed protocol of the immunohistochemical procedure is enclosed. The clone FDC-M1 is not recommended for formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

FDC-M1

Follicular Dendritic Cells (FDC) form a structural network within the lymphoid follicles and are involved in antigen presentation to B cells for generating an immune response and for the maintenance of immunological memory.  FDCs are believed to provide signals to B cells to induce their proliferation.  In LCMV mediated immunosuppression there is evidence of T-cell dependent destruction of macrophages and follicular dendritic cells.  The FDC-M1 antibody recognizes follicular dendritic cells and their dendritic processes.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
