Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette.
BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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 production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.

The AER-37 (CRA-1) monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes FcεRIα which is also known as the high affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor subunit alpha (Fc-epsilon RI-alpha). FcεRIα is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by FCER1A (Fc fragment of IgE receptor Ia) which belongs to the Ig gene superfamily. FcεRIα serves as the binding subunit for the Fc region of IgE. It forms part of a heterotetrameric, high-affinity IgE Fc receptor (FceR1/FcεR1) that includes signal transducing subunits, one β-chain (FcεRIβ encoded by MS4A2) and two disulfide-linked γ-subunits (FcεRIγ encoded by FCER1G). FcεRIα is normally expressed on basophils and mast cells and can also be expressed on some monocytes, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils from allergic donors. FcεRIα plays a major role in allergic responses and in the presentation of allergens to the immune system. The AER-37 antibody reportedly does not compete with IgE for FceR1 binding.
