Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
ELISA Detection: This biotinylated M-L233 antibody is useful as a detection antibody in ELISA for measuring soluble human CD23 protein levels in combination with the purified mouse anti-human sCD23, clone M-L234 as the capture antibody. This biotinylated detection antibody should be pretitrated in the range of 0.5 to 5 µg/ml to determine its optimal concentration for ELISA.
IF/Flow: This antibody can be used for immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis in conjunction with streptavidin (or avidin)-fluorochrome second step reagent.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/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.
The M-L233 antibody specifically binds to human CD23, the low affinity receptor for human IgE (FcεRII). CD23 is a type II membrane glycoprotein that is expressed by B cells, monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, platelets and dendritic cells. CD23 mediates IgE-dependent cytotoxicity and phagocytosis by macrophages and eosinophils. Soluble CD23 (sCD23) can be released by CD23-positive cells as a result of proteolytic cleavage of membrane CD23. Larger fragments of sCD23 (e.g., 25-37 kDa) retain their IgE-binding capacity whereas smaller fragments (ie, ≤ 12 kDa) do not. Soluble CD23 may have immunoregulatory effects on the growth and differentiation of B cells and other cell types.
