Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. 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.
  4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  5. Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
  6. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

MM3

The MM3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the Fc receptor for IgM (Fcµ Receptor, FcµR), which is also known as Fas apoptosis inhibitory molecule 3 (Faim3) or Toso. The Fcµ Receptor is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein that is encoded by Fcmr (Fc fragment of IgM receptor). This receptor contains an extracellular Ig-like domain that is homologous to two other IgM-binding receptors, the Fc receptor for IgM and polymeric IgA (Fcα/µR) and the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR). Unlike these receptors, the Fcµ Receptor exhibits exclusive binding specificity for the Fc region of IgM. Fcµ Receptor expression is restricted to B lymphocytes. Although expressed by all mature B cell subsets, Fcµ Receptor levels are transiently downregulated by germinal center B cells. This receptor is not expressed by T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, or myeloid cells. Fcmr gene ablation resulted in an increase of splenic B1 B cells but a decrease in marginal zone B cells in mutant versus wild type mice. The Fcµ Receptor is involved in the regulation of humoral immunity including IgM homeostasis and B cell survival.

Biotin
Biotin is a ubiquitous co-factor (also known as Vitamin B7) that has many properties that make it extremely useful for molecular biology. Biotin has an extremely high affinity for the Avidin family of proteins (Kd = 10-15 M), making it the perfect tool to link two molecules. Biotin labeled antibodies can be combined with any number of Avidin-conjugated probes in order to customize an assay to a particular need. This is especially useful in the case of magnetic cell separation using streptavidin/magnetic bead conjugates, or in the case of flow cytometry using streptavidin/fluorophore conjugates.
