Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

The 3B6 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the Insulin Receptor (IR), a glycoprotein composed of two extracellular α-subunits (130 kDa) and two transmembrane β-subunits (95 kDa). It is expressed on human hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, but unlike the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR), which is ubiquitous, the insulin receptor is restricted to major target tissues of insulin action. Upon binding insulin, the IR subunits form a heterotetramer of two α and two β subunits resulting in autophosphorylation and activation of the tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor. This ligand-receptor interaction is important in regulating cell metabolism and growth. 3B6/IR monoclonal antibody reacts similarly to anti-human IR α, clone 47-9, an α-subunit antibody.
