(RUO)

Two-color flow cytometric analysis of Human BCAM (CD239) expression on human peripheral erythrocytes. Human peripheral red blood cells were stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD235a antibody (Cat. No. 562938) and either PE Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554648; Left Plot) or PE Mouse Anti-Human BCAM (CD239) antibody (Cat. No. 566661; Right Plot) at 0.5 µg/test. Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the correlated expression of CD235a versus BCAM (CD239) [or Ig Isotype control staining] were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable red blood cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer System. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Immunohistochemical staining of Human BCAM (CD239) in human tonsil. Frozen sections of human tonsil were fixed with cold acetone, washed, and then stained with either Purified Mouse IgG2a κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 550339; Left Image) or Purified Mouse Anti-Human BCAM (CD239) antibody (Right Image). A three-step staining procedure that employs a Biotin Goat Anti-Mouse Immunoglobulin (Cat. No. 550337), Streptavidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) (Cat. No.550946), and the DAB Substrate Kit (Cat. No. 550880) was used to develop the primary staining reagents. As shown in the Right Panel, the Purified Mouse Anti-Human BCAM (CD239) antibody specifically stained vascular endothelial cells of vessels. Original magnification: 20×.

Product Details

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Alternative Name: B-CAM; BCAM; Lutheran glycoprotein; MSK19

Reactivity: Human (QC Testing)

Isotype: Mouse C57BL/6 IgG2a, κ

Immunogen: Human BCAM Transfected Cell Line

Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested)

Concentration: 0.2 mg/ml

RRID: AB_2869818

Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing ≤0.09% sodium azide.

Regulatory Status: RUO

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.

Product Notices

Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
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.

Antibody Details

B64

The B64 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Basal Cell Adhesion Molecule (BCAM, B-CAM) which is also known as CD239, Lutheran blood group antigen (Lu), or Lutheran glycoprotein. BCAM (CD239) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by BCAM [basal cell adhesion molecule (Lutheran blood group)] which belongs to the Ig gene superfamily. Full-length BCAM (CD239) is comprised of an extracellular region with two N-terminal V-type Ig-like domains followed by three C2-type Ig-like domains, a transmembrane region, and cytoplasmic domain of 59 amino acid residues. The extracellular region of this adhesion molecule functions as a receptor for α5-chain containing laminins which are found in basement membranes whereas its cytoplasmic tail may have signal-transduction functions. BCAM (CD239) is expressed on erythrocytes and on the basal layer of vascular endothelial cells or some epithelial cells. BCAM (CD239) is highly expressed on sickle red cells and may play a role in vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell disease. It is also upregulated upon malignant transformation of some cell types including those found in ovarian carcinomas.

Format Details

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.
