      Purified Rat Anti-Mouse PIR-A/B
      The expression of PIR-A/B on mouse spleen cells. BALB/c splenocytes were preincubated with Mouse BD Fc Block™ (Cat. no. 553141/553142) and stained with purified 6C1 monoclonal antibody (shaded histogram) followed by biotin-conjugated RG11/39.4 mAb (anti-rat IgG1, Cat. no. 553890, both histograms), then Streptavidin-PE (Cat. no. 554061, both histograms). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACScan™ Flow Cytometry System.

      Recommended Assay Procedures

      Mouse BD Fc Block™ (Cat. no. 553141/553142) should be used when staining with the 6C1 antibody, and a second-step antibody which does not cross-react with Mouse BD Fc Block™ (mAb 2.4G2, rat IgG2b, κ) must be used. We recommend biotinylated anti-rat IgG1 mAb RG11/39.4 (Cat. no. 553890) followed by a "bright" third-step reagent, such as Streptavidin-PE (Cat. no. 554061) for optimal staining. Other reported applications include immunoprecipitation.

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
      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.

      6C1

      The 6C1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the common epitopes of PIR-A and PIR-B (Paired Immunoglobulin-liked Receptors) in all mouse strains tested (A/J, BALB/cJ, C3H, C57BL/6, DBA/1, DBA/2, NZB, and SJL).  PIR-A and PIR-B are type-I transmembrane glycoproteins containing six Ig-like domains.  There are multiple PIR-A proteins which are activating receptors by virtue of their intracellular association with the ITAM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motif)- containing Fc receptor γ chain (FcRγ) in mast cells  and macrophages.  FcRγ expression is required for PIR-A cell-surface expression on dendritic cells, B cells, and myeloid lineages.  In contrast, PIR-B is an inhibitory receptor which contains various ITIMs (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motifs) in its cytoplasmic domain.  These receptors are expressed on B cells, granulocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells, and monocytes/macrophages, but not on thymocytes, T lymphocytes, erythroid lineage cells, or NK cells.  The level of cell-surface expression of these receptors increases as a function of B-cell activation and myeloid- and B-lineage differentiation.  The 6C1 antibody immunoprecipitates molecules of 85- and 125-kDa, which correspond to PIRA and PIR-B, respectively.

      Purified
      Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
