Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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 Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.

The UP-H1 monoclonal antibody recognizes Immune receptor expressed by myeloid cells 2 (IREM-2) which is also known as CD300 antigen like family member E (CD300e), CMRF35-like molecule 2 (CLM2), or Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor 2 (PIgR2). IREM-2 is a 34 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein which belongs to the CMFRF35 subfamily of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. IREM-2 is expressed on monocytes, macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), but not on lymphoid dendritic cells or granulocytes. IREM-2 associates with DAP-12, an ITAM-containing adapter molecule, which provides activating signals. Crosslinking of IREM-2 leads to intracellular calcium mobilization, release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF, and increased expression of activation markers on monocytes and mDCs. IREM-2 activation of mDCs can reportedly enhance the alloreactive response of naive T cells.
