Name: PE Mouse Anti-Human Folate Receptor β (FRβ)
Brand: BD Pharmingen™
SKU: 567708

Clone 94b

(RUO)

Two-parameter flow cytometric analysis of Folate Receptor β (FR-β) expression on human peripheral blood leucocytes. Human whole blood was stained with either PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 54680; Left Plot) or PE Rat Anti-Human Folate Receptor β (FRβ) antibody (Cat. No. 567708; Right Plot). After staining, erythrocytes were lysed with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899). A bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of Folate Receptor β (FRβ) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus side light-scatter signals was derived from gated events with the light scattering characteristics for viable leucocyte populations. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

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.
For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
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.

Antibody Details

94b

The 94b monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the human Folate Receptor beta (Folate Receptor β or FRβ). This receptor is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked membrane protein that is encoded by FOLR2 which belongs to the folate-binding receptor family. These cell surface receptors share ~70% amino acid sequence homology and bind folate with high affinity. The Folate Receptor β (FRβ) transports folate into cells which is essential for methionine and DNA synthesis that support cell growth and proliferation. FRβ is expressed on placental cells and on monocytes as well as macrophages found in normal and diseased tissues, eg, in rheumatoid arthritis and tumors. Soluble forms of FRβ have also been described which can be found in various body fluids such as plasma or milk.

Format Details

R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
