Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD40
Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD40
Two-color analysis of the expression of CD40 on mouse spleen cells. BALB/c splenocytes were simultaneously stained with PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 (Cat. No. 553089/553090) and Purified NA/LE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD40 (Cat. No. 553721; right panel), followed by FITC Mouse Anti-Armenian Hamster IgM (Cat. No. 553721). Two-color contour plots were derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scattering characteristics of viable splenocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. This preparation contains no preservatives, thus it should be handled under aseptic conditions.

Recommended Assay Procedures

For immunohistochemical staining of mouse tissue, we recommend the use Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD40 (clone 3/23; Cat. No. 550285) in our special formulation for immunohistochemistry.

Note: This product may appear to contain aggregation and/or precipitation of the IgM antibody. Investigators are advised to briefly spin down any

particulate matter.

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. Although hamster immunoglobulin isotypes have not been well defined, BD Biosciences Pharmingen has grouped Armenian and Syrian hamster IgG monoclonal antibodies according to their reactivity with a panel of mouse anti-hamster IgG mAbs. A table of the hamster IgG groups, Reactivity of Mouse Anti-Hamster Ig mAbs, may be viewed at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/documents/hamster_chart_11x17.pdf.
  4. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
  5. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

HM40-3

The HM40-3 antibody reacts with CD40, a 40-50-kDa glycoprotein expressed on B lymphocytes and other antigen-presenting cells. The CD40 molecule has a central role in B-cell growth and differentiation. Furthermore, interactions of CD40 with its ligand, CD154, are involved in the initiation and effector stages of cell-mediated immune responses. CD40 may be involved in the triggering of NK cells and NK-T cells. Soluble HM40-3 antibody stimulates splenic and peritoneal B cells to proliferate in vitro. This antibody also induces spleen B cells to express the costimulatory molecules CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2). HM40-3 mAb has been demonstrated to inhibit the binding of soluble CD154 (gp39, CD40 Ligand) to soluble CD40 and to cell-surface CD40. This hamster mAb to a mouse leukocyte antigen has been observed to cross-react with similar populations of Lewis, Sprague-Dawley, and LOU16 rat leukocytes.

NA/LE
NA/LE refers to the culture and purification methods and buffer used to produce purified antibodies with no azide and low endotoxin: Aqueous buffered solution containing no preservative, 0.2µm sterile filtered. Endotoxin level is ≤0.01 EU/µg (≤0.001 ng/µg) of protein as determined by the LAL assay.NA/LE are perfectly suited to be used in culture or in vivo (for nonhuman studies) for functional assays — blocking, neutralizing, activation or depletion — where the presence of azide may damage cells or exogenous endotoxin may signal or activate cells.
