Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette.
BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.

The 927 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD317 which is also known as Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST2) or Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Ag-1 (PDCA-1). CD317 (BST2) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Bst2. It is highly expressed on naïve plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) which comprise very small populations within lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues. pDC are characteristically early responders to viruses through Toll-like receptors (TLR), TLR7 and TLR9. Activated pDC can produce large amounts of proinflammatory cytokines including type I interferons, Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and Interferon-beta (IFN-β), and are also known as Type I IFN producing cells (IPC). CD317 (BST2) expression can be upregulated on a variety of other cell types following stimulation with type I IFNs and IFN gamma including T cells, B cells, plasma cells, NK cells, CD8+ and CD8- dendritic cells, and cell lines. CD317 (BST2) may play a role in sorting proteins, eg, cytokines, from the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane.
