Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD138
Expression of CD138 on mouse bone- marrow B lymphocytes. BALB/c bone- marrow leukocytes were stained with purified 281-2 mAb (Right panel), followed by biotinylated goat anti-rat Ig (Cat. no. 554014, both panels), then blocked with normal rat serum (both panels) and stained with Streptavidin-PE (Cat. no. 554061, both panels) and FITCconjugated RA3-6B2 mAb (anti-mouse CD45R/B220, Cat. no. 553087/553088, both panels). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ Flow Cytometry System.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

CD138 is expressed at low density on cells in the normal bone marrow; therefore, it may be desirable to amplify staining by using a biotinylated second-step antibody followed by a "bright" third-step reagent, such as Streptavidin-PE (Cat. no. 554061). Other reported applications include western blot analysis using a cationic blotting membrane and a specific method,  ELISA, and immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen and 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.

281-2

The 281-2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the core protein of CD138 (Syndecan-1), a cell-surface, integral membrane heparan sulfate- and chondroitin sulfate-containing proteoglycan that binds to interstitial extracellular matrix molecules.  Syndecan-1 is predominantly expressed on epithelial cells, where its expression correlates with normal epithelial organization.  It is also expressed on B lymphocytes at specific stages during their differentiation: precursor B cells in the bone marrow, and antibody-secreting cells including plasma cells (but not mature peripheral B cells).  It is thus implicated in mediating B cell-matrix interactions.  CD138 expression is also regulated during embryonic development, and the molecule shows a tissue- specific structural polymorphism resulting from different post-translational  modifications.  The 281-2 antibody may be used to detect the differently glycosylated forms, because it reacts with the core protein.  Furthermore, the mAb detects the Syndecan-1 ectodomain which is cleaved from cell surfaces by a metalloproteinase.

This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other application were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during development only or reported in the litererature.

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.
