Flow cytometric analysis of CD123 (IL-3 Receptor α chain) on mouse bone marrow cells. C57BL/B6 bone marrow leukocytes were stained with either Biotin Rat Anti-Mouse CD123 (Cat. No. 555070, Left Panel) or Biotin Rat IgG2a, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 553928, Right Panel)) followed by PE Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554061) and FITC Rat Anti-CD11b (Cat. No. 557396). Two-color dot plots showing CD11b and CD123 (or Ig isotype control) expression were derived from gated events with the side and forward light-scattering characteristics of viable cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCanto™ II system.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.

The 5B11 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes mouse CD123, the α chain subunit (IL-3Rα) of the mouse IL-3 receptor. The IL-3Rα chain is a 60-70 kD transmembrane glycoprotein that binds IL-3 with low affinity but cannot transduce signals by itself. The mouse IL-3Rα chain can complex with either of two homologous β chain subunits (βc and βIL-3) to form high-affinity heterodimeric IL-3 receptors. The βc chain is the common β chain subunit that can complex with the α subunits of the mouse IL-3R, IL-5R and GM-CSFR to form high-affinity receptors. The βIL-3 subunit can form high affinity IL-3 receptor complexes with only the IL-3Rα subunit. The βIL-3 subunit clone is specific for mouse IL-3 and binds with low affinity. The immunogen used to generate the 5B11 hybridoma was CTLL cells transfected with the mouse IL-3R alpha chain. The 5B11 antibody does not block the binding of IL-3 protein to the high affinity IL-3 receptor heterodimer.
