Alexa Fluor™ 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD98
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD98
Flow cytometric analysis of CD98 expression on unstimulated or stimulated Mouse splenic leucocytes. BALB/c mouse splenic leucocytes were tested fresh (Unstimulated; Left Panel) or 48 hours after Concanavalin A (Con A) mitogenic stimulation (Stimulated; Right Panel). The cells were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) [Cat. No. 553141/553142] and stained with either Alexa Fluor™ 647 Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557690; dotted line histograms) or Alexa Fluor™ 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD98 antibody (Cat No. 568193/568194; solid line histograms) at 0.5 µg/test. The fluorescence histograms showing CD98 expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable mouse leucocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

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 to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.   However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

RL388

The RL388 monoclonal antibody recognizes CD98 which is also known as the 4F2 antigen and Ly-10. CD98 is a disulfide-linked heterodimer comprised of an ~86 kDa single-pass type II heavy chain glycoprotein that associates with a ~39-kDa multi-pass, nonglycosylated light chain which belongs to the L-type amino transporter family. The RL388 antibody specifically binds to an epitope present on the CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc, also known as the 4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain or 4F2hc) which is encoded by Slc3a2 [solute carrier family 3 (activators of dibasic and neutral amino acid transport), member 2]. CD98 is variably expressed on different cell types including T cells, B cells, and NK cells as well as monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, and fibroblasts. CD98 serves as an activation marker for T and B cells since its expression is upregulated upon cellular activation. CD98 regulates cellular growth, proliferation, and survival through CD98hc interactions with β integrins and by CD98 light chain-mediated amino acid transport.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 670-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
