Biotin Mouse Anti-Mouse Vβ 12 T-Cell Receptor
Two-color analysis of the expression of Vß12 TCR on peripheral lymphocytes. C57BL/6 lymph node cells were incubated simultaneously with biotinylated MR11-1, 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, followed by Avidin-FITC, Cat. No. 554057). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with biotin under optimum conditions, and unreacted biotin was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

For flow cytometry of cell suspensions from peripheral lymphoid tissues, it is recommended that multicolor staining be performed to distinguish T lymphocytes from non-T cells.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  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.

MR11-1

The MR11-1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the Vβ 12 T-cell Receptor (TCR) of mice having the b haplotype (e.g., C57BL, C58, DBA/1) of the Tcrb gene complex1 The Tcrb-V12 gene locus is deleted in mice having the a (e.g., C57BR, C57L, SJL, SWR) or c (e.g., RIII) haplotype. Vβ 12 TCR-bearing T lymphocytes are clonally eliminated in mice expressing I-E and superantigens encoded by Mtv-8 (Mlsf, Dvb11.1), Mtv-9 (Etc-1, Mlsf, Dvb11.2) and/or Mtv-11 (Mlsf, Dvb11.3) proviruses (eg, A, AKR, BALB/c, CBA/J, C3H, DBA/2). Activation of Vβ 12 TCR-expressing T cells by these determinants is dependent upon presentation by I-E. C57BL/6 spleen T cells expressing Vβ 12 TCR are among the predominant responders to MAIDS virus superantigen.

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.

Biotin
Biotin is a ubiquitous co-factor (also known as Vitamin B7) that has many properties that make it extremely useful for molecular biology. Biotin has an extremely high affinity for the Avidin family of proteins (Kd = 10-15 M), making it the perfect tool to link two molecules. Biotin labeled antibodies can be combined with any number of Avidin-conjugated probes in order to customize an assay to a particular need. This is especially useful in the case of magnetic cell separation using streptavidin/magnetic bead conjugates, or in the case of flow cytometry using streptavidin/fluorophore conjugates.
