PE Mouse Anti-Human CD215 (IL-15Rα)
PE Mouse Anti-Human CD215 (IL-15Rα)
Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of CD215 (IL15Rα) expression on human monocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured in complete tissue culture medium without (left column) or with (right column) lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng/ml) and Recombinant Human IFN-γ (Cat. No. 554617, 10 ng/ml) for 20 hours at 37°C. The cells were harvested, incubated with Human BD Fc Block™ (Cat. No. 564220), and then stained with APC Mouse Anti-Human CD14 (Cat. No. 555399) and either PE Mouse IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555058; top row) or PE Mouse Anti-Human CD215 (IL15Rα) antibody (Cat. No. 566589; bottom row). Two-color flow cytometric contour plots showing the correlated expression of CD215 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD14 were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable monocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessaTM X-20 Flow Cytometer System. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

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 with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were 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. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  4. 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.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

JM7A4

The JM7A4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD215, which is also known as the IL-15 Receptor alpha subunit (IL-15R-alpha, IL-15Ra, or IL-15Rα). This type I transmembrane glycoprotein is encoded by IL15RA (Interleukin 15 receptor subunit alpha) and is variably expressed on macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, T cells and B cells and by some nonlymphoid cells including fibroblasts.  Although it can independently bind IL-15 with high affinity, it does not contain a signaling motif. CD215 (IL-15Rα) can present IL-15 in cis or trans fashion to the IL-2/15R beta (CD122) and IL-2R gamma (γc or CD132) receptor complex which can then transduce signals intracellularly. Several different CD215 (IL-15Rα) isoforms have been described that are produced by alternative splicing and may alter signal transduction responses to IL-15. A cleaved soluble form of CD215 known as sIL-15RA has also been reported which can bind and antagonize IL-15 activity. By binding to its heterotrimeric receptor, IL-15 plays crucial roles in innate immunity, eg, through the activation of NK cells and adaptive immunity, eg, in enhancing the survival of CD8+ memory T cells.

PE
R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
