APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD185 (CXCR5)
APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD185 (CXCR5)
Flow cytometric analysis of CD185 (CXCR5) expression on mouse splenocytes.  Left Panel: Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice were stained either with a APC Rat IgG2a, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 553932; shaded histogram) or with the APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD185 (CXCR5) antibody (Cat. No. 560615; unshaded histogram).  Histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics for CD45R/B220+ cells.  Middle and Right Panels: Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice were stained with both FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 antibody (Cat.No. 553088) and either an APC Rat IgG2a, κ isotype control (middle panel) or the APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD185 (CXCR5) antibody (right panel).  Dot plots were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics for splenocytes.  Flow cytometry was performed on a BD™ LSR II 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.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Flow cytometry:  Chemokine receptors are known to internalize during manipulation resulting in low frequency expression.  Investigators are advised to perform immunophenotyping studies of chemokine receptors on freshly collected samples (<24 Hrs). Incubation with the antibody should be done at 4°C in the dark. Cellular manipulation, such as Ficoll separation, freezing, or exposure to cold temperatures prior to staining should be minimized and have been shown to cause a decrease in staining intensity and/or inconsistent results.

Investigators should note that alternative staining procedures may be necessary.  A multiple-step staining procedure is strongly recommended, in some instances, to amplify immunofluorescent signals for the flow cytometric analysis of mouse CXCR5 expression.  Investigators may find the Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CXCR5 antibody (Cat. No. 551961) to be useful in conjunction with appropriate secondary and tertiary reagents for detecting low frequency expression, such as with Biotin Mouse Anti-Rat IgG2a (Cat. No. 553894) and PE Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554061) or FITC Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554060).

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  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.
  4. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

2G8

The 2G8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the mouse C-X-C Chemokine Receptor type 5, CXCR5. CXCR5 is also known as CD185, BLR1, NLR and MDR15. CXCR5 is a seven-transmembrane, G-protein-coupled receptor that is specific for the CXC chemokine, CXCL13/BLC/BCA-1. The expression of CXCR5 has been detected in spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, brain, bone marrow, T cells, B cells, cerebrum, cerebellum, hippcampus and pituitary. In mouse spleen, CXCR5 was strictly expressed by mature B cells and a small subset of T lymphocytes. CXCR5 plays a role in directing the migration of B and T cells to B cell follicles with the spleen and certain other lymphoid tissues. The immunogen used to generate 2G8 hybridoma was a recombinant protein containing N-terminal amino acids of mouse CXCR5 (GST-NmBLR1).

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.
