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 17C9 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Complement receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily (CRIg) which is encoded by the Vsig4 (V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4) gene. CRIg is a ~45 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a variable (V-type) immunoglobulin domain in its extracellular region which is required for binding complement components and promoting phagocytosis. CRIg is expressed on Kupffer cells and tissue resident macrophages, including a subset of resident peritoneal macrophages. CRIg binds complement fragments C3b and iC3b and plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. This complement receptor is involved in regulation of the complement cascade and serves as a phagocytic receptor in the clearance of pathogens, immune complexes, and apoptotic cells. CRIg-positive macrophages can reportedly function in the negative regulation of T-cell proliferation and IL-2 production.
