Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.

The 9A1.5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an extracellular domain of Delta-Like Protein 4 that is encoded by the Dll4 gene. Delta-Like Protein 4 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that is also known as Delta-like 4, Delta-like Ligand 4, Delta4 and DL4. It is a member of the Delta/Serrate/Jagged Family of Notch ligands. Notch ligands are classified by the presence of specific structural motifs including an N-terminal Delta-Serrate-LAG-2 (DSL) domain necessary for Notch binding, EGF repeats, and the DOS domain (a specialized EGF repeat). The Notch family of transmembrane receptors and their ligands control cell-fate "decisions" during the development of many organs in a wide variety of animal species. Delta-Like Protein 4 activates cellular signaling pathways by binding to Notch1 and Notch4 receptors. It is involved in embryonic vascular development and tumor angiogenesis, and is induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and hypoxia. Delta-Like Protein 4 and Notch receptor signaling are also intimately involved in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Delta-Like Protein 4 is highly expressed by cortical thymic epithelial cells (TEC). Interaction between Delta-Like Protein 4-positive TEC and Notch1 expressed by T cell precursors drives T cell lineage commitment, expansion and maturation within the thymus. Delta-Like Protein 4 is also expressed by dendritic cells and plays a role in peripheral T helper cell differentiation. Blocking of Delta-Like Protein 4 and Notch receptor interactions serves to diminish autoimmune diseases in mouse model systems.
