Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- 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.
Companion Products
The 2G3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Langerin which is also known as CD207 or C-type lectin domain family 4 member K (CLEC4K). CD207 is a 48 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the C-type lectin family. CD207 is selectively expressed by Langerhans cells, an immature dendritic cell type that is found in the epidermis and mucosal epithelia, and by some other dendritic cell subsets. CD207 is expressed on the cell surface membrane and by intracellular Birbeck granules whose formation depends on CD207. CD207 binds to certain surface carbohydrates that are expressed by microbes. It appears to play a role in the uptake of these microbes for subsequent processing and microbial antigen presentation to T cells.
