APC Rat anti-Mouse CD138
APC Rat anti-Mouse CD138
Expression of CD138 on mouse bone-marrow B lymphocytes. C57BL/6 bone-marrow leukocytes were simultaneously stained with APC-conjugated 281-2 mAb (right panel) or rat IgG2a isotype control (Cat. no. 553932, left panel) and FITC-conjugated RA3-6B2 mAb (anti-CD45R/B220, Cat. no. 553087/553088, both panels). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ Flow Cytometry 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 to APC under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free APC were removed.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. 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.

281-2

The 281-2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the core protein of CD138 (Syndecan-1), a cell-surface, integral membrane heparan sulfate- and chondroitin sulfate-containing proteoglycan that binds to interstitial extracellular matrix molecules.  Syndecan-1 is predominantly expressed on epithelial cells, where its expression correlates with normal epithelial organization.  It is also expressed on B lymphocytes at specific stages during their differentiation: precursor B cells in the bone marrow, and antibody-secreting cells including plasma cells (but not mature peripheral B cells).  It is thus implicated in mediating B cell-matrix interactions.  CD138 expression is also regulated during embryonic development, and the molecule shows a tissue- specific structural polymorphism resulting from different post-translational  modifications.  The 281-2 antibody may be used to detect the differently glycosylated forms, because it reacts with the core protein.  Furthermore, the mAb detects the Syndecan-1 ectodomain which is cleaved from cell surfaces by a metalloproteinase.

APC
Allophycocyanin (APC), is part of the BD family of phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 651 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 660 nm. APC is designed to be excited by the Red (627-640 nm) laser and detected using an optical filter centered near 660 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.
