PE-CF594_il-21r_overlay.png

Two-color flow cytometric analysis of IL-21 Receptor (CD360) expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human whole blood was stained with APC Mouse Anti-Human CD19 antibody (Cat. No. 555415/561742) and either BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562292; dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon PE-CF594 Mouse Anti-Human IL-21 Receptor (CD360) (Cat. No. 564122; solid line histogram). Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202).  The fluorescence histograms were derived from CD19-positive gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer 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 with BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE-CF594 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. 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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  5. Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
  6. Because of the broad absorption spectrum of the tandem fluorochrome, extra care must be taken when using multi-laser cytometers, which may directly excite both PE and CF™594.
  7. When excited by the yellow-green (561-nm) laser, the fluorescence may be brighter than when excited by the blue (488-nm) laser.

17A12

The 17A12 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the IL-21 Receptor (IL-21R). The IL-21R, also known as CD360, is a 538 amino acid cytokine receptor with an extracellular domain consisting of one copy of the conserved WSXWS -containing cytokine-binding domain. The IL-21 receptor combines with the common cytokine-receptor γ-chain to form a functional receptor complex for IL-21. IL-21 is mainly produced by activated CD4+ T cells including T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. IL-21R is preferentially expressed by B cells, T cells, NK cells, some populations of myeloid cells, keratinocytes, and dendritic cells. Binding of its ligand, IL-21, in these cells results in the activation of the Jak/Stat signal transduction pathway.  The effects IL-21 ligand binding has pleiotropic actions such as augmenting the proliferation of T cells, driving of B cells into memory cells, terminally differentiating plasma cells and augmenting the activity of natural killer cells. IL-21 receptor has anti-tumor activity and might have a role in the development of autoimmunity; it has been reported that the IL-21 receptor affects the homeostasis of regulatory T cells and it could enhance T cell-activated responses in human immune-inflammatory diseases.

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ PE-CF594, which has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences as a better alternative to PE-Texas Red®. PE-CF594 excites and emits at similar wavelengths to PE-Texas Red® yet exhibits improved brightness and spectral characteristics. Due to PE having maximal absorption peaks at 496 nm and 564 nm, PE-CF594 can be excited by the blue (488-nm), green (532-nm) and yellow-green (561-nm) lasers and can be detected with the same filter set as PE-Texas Red® (eg 610/20-nm filter).

PE-CF594
BD Horizon™ PE-CF594 dye is a part of the BD PE family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a R-Phycoerythrin (PE) donor that has excitation maxima (Ex Max) of 496-nm and 566-nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 615-nm. PE-CF594, driven by BD innovation, 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 615 nm (e.g., a 610/20-nm bandpass filter). The donor dye can be excited by the Blue (488-nm), Green (532-nm) and Yellow-Green (561-nm) lasers and the acceptor dye can be excited by the Green (532-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
