Two-color analysis of the expression of Vα 3.2b,c TCR on peripheral lymphocytes. C57BL/6 lymph node leukocytes were simultaneuosly stained with FITC-conjugated RR3-16, PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD4 RM4-5 (Cat. No. 553048/553049), and PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD8a 53-6.7 (Cat. No. 553032/553033) monoclonal antibodies. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ flow cytometry system.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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 RR3-16 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with the Vα 3.2 T-Cell Receptor (TCR) of mice having the b (e.g., C57BL) and c (e.g., SWR, SJL, NZB, NOD) haplotypes of the Tcra gene complex, but not with TCR encoded by other members of Tcra-V3 gene subfamily. RR3-16 antibody does not react with strains having the a (e.g., A, AKR, BALB/c, CBA, C3H/He) or d (e.g., DBA/1, DBA/2, NZW) Tcra haplotypes. In addition, it has been shown that frequencies of Vα 3.2+ CD8+ T cells from homozygous H-2k/H-2k mice are moderately higher than those from heterozygous H-2k/H-2d mice, suggesting positive selection by H-2k.
This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
