BD OptiBuild™ BUV395 Mouse Anti-Human CD217 (IL-17RA)
Clone 133617 (RUO)


Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
Product Notices
- This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
- 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.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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 133617 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD217 which is also known as Interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17R or IL-17RA). CD217 is a ~120 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by IL17RA. CD217 (IL-17RA) belongs to the IL-17 receptor family which also includes IL-17 RB, IL-17RC, IL-17RD, and IL-17RE. CD217 (IL-17RA) has a wide tissue distribution and is variably expressed on granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), T cells, B cells, NK cells, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) or IL-17F homodimers, or IL-17A:IL-17F heterodimers can bind to and signal through functional IL-17 receptor complexes comprised of CD217 (IL-17RA) and IL-17RC subunits. This leads to the cellular release of proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1, IL-6, and TNF, antimicrobial peptides, and chemokines that attract neutrophils. IL-17E/IL-25 binds to and signals through another functional IL-17 receptor complex comprised of CD217 (IL-17RA) and IL-17RB subunits. IL-17E/IL-25 induces type-2 (Th2-like) immune responses and is implicated in asthma. IL-17C binds to IL-17 receptor complexes comprised of CD217 (IL-17RA) and IL-17RE subunits and can stimulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines and antimicrobial peptides.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.
