Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-PDGFRβ (CD140b) (pY771)
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-PDGFRβ (CD140b) (pY771)
Analysis of PDGFRβ (CD140b) (pY771) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts.  Serum-starved NIH/3T3 cells were either stimulated with PDGF-BB (shaded histogram) or unstimulated (open histogram).  The cells were fixed (BD Phosflow™ Fix Buffer I, Cat. No. 557870) for 10 minutes at 37°C, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™  Perm Buffer III, Cat. No. 558050) on ice for at least 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-PDGFRβ (CD140b, pY771, Cat. No. 558424).  Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

Product Notices

  1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  2. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  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. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
  5. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  6. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.

J23-1044

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin and exerts its effects by binding to the PDGF receptor (PDGFR), a transmembrane protein tyrosine kinase.  PDGFR is composed of PDGFRα (CD140a) and/or PDGFRβ (CD140b) polypeptides.  Both PDGF and PDGFR consist of subunits that form homo- or heterodimers with varying specificities: PDGF-AA binds only to αα PDGFR, PDGF-AB binds to both αα and αβ PDGFR, and PDGF-BB binds to all three PDGFRs.  Ligand binding induces dimerization and activation of the receptor.  Upon activation, CD140b is phosphorylated at multiple tyrosine sites and, in turn, an intracellular phosphorylation cascade is initiated.  PDGFR localizes primarily to membrane invaginations termed caveolae, compartments that are enriched in several of its downstream effectors, including phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, Src, and phospholipase C-γ.

The J23-1044 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated tyrosine 771 (pY771) in the kinase insert domain of CD140b.  pY771 interacts with GTPase-activating protein, a negative regulator of Ras, and weakly with Shc, which indirectly promotes the activation of Ras.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
