Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette.
BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
- 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.
- Please refer to bd.com/genomics-resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

The EH12.1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD279 which is also known as Programmed cell death 1 (PD1). CD279 is an immunoregulatory receptor expressed on activated T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells. It contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic region. Mice deficient in CD279 show a breakdown of peripheral tolerance and manifest multiple autoimmune symptoms. PD-L1 and PD-L2 are ligands of CD279 and members of the B7 gene family. CD279:PD-Ligands interaction inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. Reports suggest that the B7/CTLA-4 pathway primarily attenuates, limits, and/or terminates naïve T-cell activation in secondary lymphoid organs. The PD-ligand:CD279 pathway, on the other hand, may primarily attenuate, limit, and/or terminate T-, B-, and myeloid cell activation/effector function at sites of inflammation in the periphery.
