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.
- 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.
- Please refer to bd.com/genomics-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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

The 7G3 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human CD123, the 70 kDa IL-3 Receptor α (IL-3Rα) chain. CD123 associates with CD131, the 120-140 kDa Common β chain to form the IL-3 Receptor Complex. CD131 is shared with the receptors for interleukins IL-5 and GM-CSF. IL-3Rα is expressed on hematopoietic progenitors and plays an important role in hematopoietic progenitor cell growth and differentiation. It is also expressed by mast cells, macrophages and a CD5+ B cell subset. This antibody has been reported to block the binding of 125I-IL-3 to high and low affinity IL-3 receptors. In functional experiments, this antibody was found to inhibit acute myeloid leukemia cell proliferation, basophil histamine release, endothelial cell-mediated IL-8 secretion, and neutrophil transmigration. This antibody has been reported to be useful for immunoprecipitation, Western blot and immunofluorescent staining for flow cytometry. At the Fifth HLDA Workshop, the human IL-3 receptor was designated CD123.
