RB780 Mouse Anti-Human NKp44 (CD336)
RB780 Mouse Anti-Human NKp44 (CD336)
Multiparameter analysis of NKp44 (CD336) expression on Stimulated and Unstimulated Human NK cells. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cultured without (Unstimulated; dashed line histogram) or with Recombinant Human IL-2 protein (Cat. No. 554603; Stimulated; solid line histogram) for 7 days at 37°C. The cells were then stained with  BD Horizon™ BUV395 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 563546), FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD56 (NCAM-1) [Cat. No. 562794], and BD Horizon™ RB780 Mouse Anti-Human NKp44 (CD336) [Cat. No. 569203/569204] antibodies. The fluorescence histograms showing NKp44 (CD336) expression were derived from CD3-negative CD56-positive gated cells with the forward and side-light scatter characteristics of viable (DAPI-negative) lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software.

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. When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. Please observe the following precautions: Absorption of visible light can significantly alter the energy transfer occurring in any tandem fluorochrome conjugate; therefore, we recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to prevent exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to room illumination.
  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.
  8. Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

p44-8

The p44-8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the natural killer (NK) cell receptor, NKp44, which is also known as CD336, Natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 2 (NCR2), or Lymphocyte antigen 95 homolog (Ly95). NKp44 is a ~44 kDa type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR) family within the immunoglobulin superfamily. NKp44 is expressed by activated NK cells. NKp44 serves as an activating receptor that can enhance NK cell mediated lysis of target cells including tumor cells and virus-infected cells. Killer activating receptor associated protein (KARAP), which is also known as DAP12, is an intracellular adaptor protein that can associate with the intracellular region of NKp44. DAP12 can then function to help transmit activating signals through its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM).

RB780
The BD Horizon RealBlue™ 780 (RB780) Dye is part of the BD family of blue dyes. It is a tandem fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 498-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 781-nm. Driven by BD innovation, RB780 can be used on both spectral and conventional cytometers and is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) with minimal excitation by the 561-nm Yellow-Green laser. For conventional instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), RB780 can be used as an alternative to PE-Cy7 and we recommend using an optical filter centered near 780-nm (eg, a 780/60-nm bandpass filter). For spectral instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), it can be used in conjunction with PE-Cy7. RB780 is on average brighter than PE-Cy7 and has minimal spillover into Yellow-Green detectors.
