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 FITC under optimum conditions, and unreacted FITC was removed.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  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.
  4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

10/78

The 10/78 monoclonal antibody recognizes the rat CD161 proteins, CD161a (also known as, Klrb1a, or Nkrp1a/NKR-P1A), and CD161b (Klrb1b, Nkrp1b/NKR-P1B). These type II transmembrane glycoproteins have an extracellular C-type lectin domain and thus belong to the C-type lectin superfamily. These CD161 proteins form ~ 60 kDa homodimers that are expressed on natural killer cells and subsets of T lymphocytes, activated monocytes, and dendritic cells. The 10/78 antibody competes with the previously-described 3.2.3 antibody for binding to these CD161 proteins. CD161 molecules are C-type lectin-like receptors that can either activate (CD161a) or inhibit (CD161b) effector leucocyte responses, eg, cytotoxicity or cytokine production, against target cells which express C-type lectin-like related (Clr) molecules. Although several members of the Klrb1 gene family have been identified in the mouse and rat, only a single human KLRB1 homolog has been discovered.

FITC
Fluorescein (FITC) is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 518-nm. FITC is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520 nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
