Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human Active β2 Integrin (CD18)
Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of Active β2 Integrin (CD18) expression on untreated or stimulated human peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) collected with either heparin or EDTA anticoagulants.      Left Panel: PBL collected with heparin were either untreated (Top Plots) or were stimulated with 200 nM PMA (37°C, 20 min; Bottom Plots). The cells were stained with either Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 565571; Left Plots) or Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human Active β2 Integrin (CD18) antibody (Cat. No. 567945/567946; Right Plots). The erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of Active β2 Integrin (CD18) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus side light-scatter (SSC-A) signals were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact leucocyte populations. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software.      Right Panel: PBL collected with the chelating agent, EDTA were similarly treated, stained and analyzed by multiparameter flow cytometry.

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 the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was 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® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  4. 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.
  5. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  6. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  7. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

mAb 24

mAb 24 (also known as 24 or m24) specifically recognizes a divalent cation-dependent epitope expressed by active human Integrin β2 which is also known as CD18. Integrin β2 is an ~95 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ITGB2 (integrin subunit beta 2). Integrin β2 (CD18) noncovalently associates with other integrin α chains to form αLβ2 (CD11a/CD18; also known as, LFA-1), αMβ2 (CD11b/CD18; Mac-1, CR3), αXβ2 (CD11c/CD18; p150,95; CR4) and αDβ2 (CD11d/CD18) heterodimers. These integrins are variably expressed on lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, Langerhans cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). These leucocyte integrins bind to various ligands and mediate cellular adhesion and signaling responses that regulate cellular activation, effector function, and migration. mAb 24 binds to the extended/open, high-affinity ligand-binding conformation of active Integrin β2 (CD18). mAb 24 can be used as a reporter antibody for the activated status of Integrin β2-containing receptors expressed by leucocytes in response to various stimuli in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 670-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.
