Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- 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).
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
The 5B5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD77, a small neutral glycosphingolipid also referred to as globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), Burkitt 's lymphoma associated antigen (BLA), ceramide trihexoside (CTH), and Pk blood group antigen. CD77 is expressed on a subset of germinal center B-lymphocytes including centroblasts that are found with greater frequency in tonsil and mucosal lymphoid tissues and less frequently in peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen. It has been described as a receptor for Shiga Toxin, produced by Shigella dysenteriae, and Verotoxin 1 (VT1), produced by some strains of E. coli. CD19 has been reported as a ligand for CD77. This interaction may function in adhesion and signal transduction at a specific stage of B cell differentiation. Studies have shown that cross-linking CD77 induces apoptosis in some B cell lines.
This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
