Multi-color analysis of the expression of CD200 on thymocytes. C57BL/6 thymocytes were stained with either purified mAb OX-90 (open histograms) or purified rat IgG2a, κ isotype control mAb R35-95 (Cat. No. 553927, shaded histograms), followed by biotinylated anti-rat IgG2a mAb RG7/1.30 (Cat. No. 553894) then Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061). Then the cells were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD4 mAb and APC-conjugated anti-mouse CD8a mAb 53-6.7 (Cat. No. 553035). Electronic gates were set to include the CD4-CD8a-, CD4+CD8a+, CD4+CD8a-, and CD4-CD8a+ populations, and their expression of CD200 is displayed in the corresponding panels. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ Flow Cytometry System.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Since this antigen is expressed at low density on resting peripheral leukocytes, it may be desirable to amplify staining by using a biotinylated second-step antibody followed by a "bright" third-step reagent, such as Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061). We also recommend the use of Mouse BD Fc Block™ (anti-mouse CD16/CD32, mAb 2.4G2, Cat. No. 553141/553142) when Fc Receptor-bearing cells are present. For staining with purified antibody in the presence of Mouse BD Fc Block™, a second-step antibody which does not react with the 2.4G2 antibody (Rat IgG2b, κ) must be used. We have found that biotinylated anti-rat IgG2a mAb RG7/1.30 (Cat. No. 553894) is useful.
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.
- 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.

The OX-90 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD200 (OX-2 antigen), a type-1 transmembrane glycoprotein containing two extracellular Ig-like domains. CD200 is expressed on thymocytes, neurons, B lymphocytes, splenic follicular dendritic cells and endothelium, and subsets of T lymphocytes and dendritic cells; but not on NK cells, granulocytes, monocytes, or macrophages. CD200 Receptor (CD200R; OX2R) expression is restricted to myeloid cells, and it appears that its engagement with CD200 results in inhibition and/or down-regulation of myeloid cell activity.
