Purifed Rat Anti-Human CXCR5 (CD185)
Detection of CXCR5 (CD185) expression on human peripheral lymphocytes by Purified Rat-Anti Human CXCR5 (CD185). Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with 0.25 µg/test of Purified Rat Anti-Human CXCR5 (CD185) (Cat. No. 552032), using the 3-step staining protocol outlined below, and FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 555339; left panel) or FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD19 (Cat. No. 555412; right panel). Erythrocytes were lysed with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899). The data reflects gating on lymphocytes based on forward and side scattered light signals. The level of nonspecific staining was assessed by using Purified Rat IgG2b, ĸ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555846) and FITC Mouse IgG2a ĸ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555573), or FITC Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype (Cat. No. 555748). The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the isotype controls. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD FACScan™ Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA)

Preparation And Storage

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

Recommended Assay Procedures

The Purified Rat Anti-Human CXCR5 (CD185) antibody can be used for the immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analyses of human leukocytes and cell lines that express CXCR5 (see Figure). A multistep staining procedure is recommended to amplify immunofluorescent signals for the flow cytometric analysis of human CXCR5 expression:

Step 1: Incubate 10e6 cells with 0.06 - 0.5 mg of purified Purified Rat Anti-Human CXCR5 (CD185) antibody at 4°C for 15 - 20 minutes. Wash cells two times with staining medium containing sodium azide (e.g., Dulbecco's PBS or tissue culture medium [without phenol red and biotin] with 0.09% sodium azide and 2% heat-inactivated FCS or 0.2% BSA).

Step 2: Incubate the cells with Biotin Mouse Anti-Rat IgG2b (Cat. No. 553898) at 4°C for 20 minutes. Wash cells two times.

Step 3: Incubate the cells with  ≤ 0.06 mg of streptavidin-phycoerythrin (Cat. No. 554061) at 4°C for 20 minutes. Wash two times. Resuspend cells in staining medium and analyze stained cells by flow cyotmetry, using appropriate specificity and compensation controls.

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.

RF8B2

The RF8B2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human CXC chemokine receptor, CXCR5. CXCR5 (also known as CD185, BLR-1 NLR and MDR15), a seven transmembrane, G-protein-coupled receptor, is the specific receptor for CXC chemokine, CXCL13/BLC/BCA-1. In peripheral blood, CXCR5 expression is restricted to B lymphocytes and a small subset of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes. The restricted expression pattern of CXCR5 on B cells and follicular T helper cells (Tfh) suggests that this receptor functions as a regulator of B and T cell migration. Stimulation of T cells with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody leads to the down-regulation of CXCR5.

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.
