Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette.
BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
- 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 production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.

The HMBT-6B2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD272 which is also known as B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA). CD272 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the Ig superfamily. CD272 is variably expressed on developing and mature T and B lymphocytes, NKT cells, NK cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. CD272 expression is upregulated by activated T cells including Th1, Th2, and T follicular helper cells and by anergic T cells. CD272 is structurally similar to CD152/CTLA-4 and CD279/PD-1 and functions as a coinhibitory receptor for B and T cell responses. Herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM), also known as CD270 and LIGHT-R, has been identified as a ligand for CD272. The crosslinking of CD272 by HVEM inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.
