Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- For U.S. patents that may apply, see bd.com/patents.
- 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.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- 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. For more information visit https://www.bdbiosciences.com/en-us/support/product-notices.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.
Companion Products
The HI186 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD52 which is also known as Cambridge pathology antigen 1 (CAMPATH-1 antigen) or Human epididymis-specific protein 5 (He5). CD52 is an ~25-29 kDa N-glycosylated protein that is encoded by CD52 (CD52 molecule) and is glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked to the membrane. CD52 is expressed on thymocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. CD52 is variably expressed on malignant lymphoid cells. Although its functional role is not well characterized, the CD52 antigen serves as target for therapeutic CD52-specific antibodies which are being used clinically to remove lymphocytes from transplanted bone marrow cell preparations, for immunosuppression, and in the treatment of some malignant diseases.
