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 M3/84 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD107b which is also known as Mac-3, Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2/Lamp2/Lamp II), and Lysosomal membrane glycoprotein type B (LGP-B). CD107b is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that constitutes a major integral membrane protein of lysosomes and may play a role in lysosomal function. CD107b is also expressed on the surface of mouse mononuclear phagocytes. Surface expression of the 92-110-kDa glycoprotein antigen increases during differentiation of monocytes to activated macrophages and may play a role in adhesion. The M3/84 mAb can detect CD107b antigen on tissue macrophages, thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages, and some myeloid cell lines, but not on lymphocytes or monocytes. In the bone marrow, very few cells display CD107b antigen on the surface, but a large proportion express cytoplasmic CD107b. The M3/84 antibody has also been reported to stain dendritic cells and endothelium in sections of thymus (both medulla and cortex), lymph nodes, spleen (white pulp), and gut-associated lymphoid tissue.
