PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32
PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of CD16/32 expression on mouse splenic lymphocytes. BALB/C mouse splenic leucocytes were stained with APC Armenian Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e antibody (Cat. No. 553066/561826) and either PE Rat IgG2a, λ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557076; Left Plot) or PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Cat. No. 567020; Right Plot) at 0.5 μg/test. A pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of CD16/CD32 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD3e was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes. 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 with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were 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 cells and BD CompBead to ensure that BD CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

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. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

Ab93

The Ab93 monoclonal antibody (aka, Antibody93) specifically recognizes a common epitope on the extracellular domains of mouse CD16 (Fc gamma RIII/FcγRIII encoded by Fcgr3) and CD32 (Fc gamma RIIB/FcγRIIB encoded by Fcgr2b). Therefore, Ab93 is referred to as an Anti-CD16/32 or Anti-FcgRII/III antibody. CD16 is variably expressed on neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells whereas CD32 is expressed on B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets and endothelial cells. CD16 and CD32 serve as low affinity receptors for IgG Fc constant regions and are involved in regulating various cellular functions including antibody-dependent cellular toxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, effector cell degranulation, and B cell proliferation. In addition to identifying CD16- or CD32-positive cells, the Ab93 antibody is useful in phenotyping studies for blocking nonspecific staining due to Fc receptor-mediated binding of other antibodies. Ab93 is also useful in functional studies due to its Fc receptor blocking capability or by its capacity to crosslink Fc receptors leading to signal transduction that triggers cellular responses. Ab93 (Rat IgG2a, λ) and clone 2.4G2 (Rat IgG2b, κ), another mouse CD16/32-specific antibody, reportedly have similar specificities. The differences in the Ig heavy chain or Ig light chain isotypes of these CD16/32-specific antibodies afford flexibility in the design of experimental model systems involving other antibodies.

PE
R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
