Purified Rat anti-Human Lgr5 (Central LRR)
Flow cytometric analysis of human LGR5 expression LS 174T cells. Colorectal adenocarcinoma cells LS 174T (ATCC CL-188) were stained with either Purified Rat IgG2b isotype control (Cat. No. 553986; dashed line histogram) or Purified Rat anti-Human Lgr5 (Central LRR) monoclonal antibody (Cat. No. 562732; solid line histogram). Cells were harvested with Accutase™ Cell Detachment Solution (Cat. No. 561527). The second step reagent was PE goat anti-Rat Ig (Cat. No. 550767). The histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics of viable LS 174T cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCanto™ II flow cytometry system.

Immunoflourescent staining of human LGR5. Colorectal adenocarcinoma cells LS 174T transfected with human LGR5 (Cells from Dr. Hans Clevers, Hubrecht Institute) were fixed and stained with Purified Rat anti-human LGR5 (Central LRR) monoclonal antibody (pseudo colored green) at 2.5 µg/mL. The second-step reagent was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rat Ig (Life Technologies) and counter-staining was with DAPI (pseudo-colored blue). The images were captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer and merged using BD Attovision™ Software.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  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. 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.

4D11F8

Lgr5 (leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5) is a seven transmembrane-domain receptor that is a target gene for Wnt and marks stem cells in the small intestine, colon, stomach, and hair follicle. Lgr5 was initially identified as a potential stem cell marker due to restricted expression of Lgr5 in the intestinal crypt and labeling of rapidly cycling cells of the colon and intestine. Using both lineage tracing and organoid culture experiments, Lgr5 positive cells are capable of generating all types of the small intestine epithelium hence indicating that Lgr5 marks stem cells of the small intestine and colon. R-spondin growth factors, which are secreted agonists of the Wnt pathway, bind Lgr5. The binding of R-spondins to Lgr5 leads to recruitment of the Frizzled/LRP Wnt receptor complex, which binds to Wnt ligands and leads to downstream Wnt signaling. Lgr5 is up-regulated in colon and ovarian cancers and has been implicated in promotion of tumor growth and metastasis.

The 4D11F8 monoclonal antibody recognizes an epitope in the center of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region of Human Lgr5.

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.
