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).
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/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 HECA-452 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with Cutaneous Lymphocyte Associated Antigen (CLA), a carbohydrate domain shared by sialyl Lewis[x] (sLe[x]) and sialyl Lewis[a] (sLe[a]) antigens. It serves as a ligand for selectins including CD62E (E-selectin; ELAM-1). CLA is expressed on high endothelium and on lymphocytes including most T lymphocytes infiltrating cutaneous sites of inflammation. Amongst peripheral blood cells, it is expressed on monocytes and granulocytes and a subset of lymphocytes. The HECA-452 antibody is also reportedly crossreactive with the mouse CLA carbohydrate epitope that is transiently expressed by PSGL-1/CD162 on activated T cells. A number of studies suggest that CLA plays an important role in supporting leucocyte adhesive interactions and migration into extravascular tissues during inflammation.
This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
