Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Caution: 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 for in vitro and in vivo use.
Product Notices
- 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.

The MR106 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD106, the ~110 kDa transmembrane vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). Expression of CD106 on endothelial cells is induced by inflammatory cytokines and in certain pathologic conditions. In the rat bone marrow, CD106 is reportedly expressed on dendritic cells and subsets of the myeloid lineage, but not detectable on peripheral leucocytes. CD106 can reportedly serve as a counter-receptor for VLA-4 (α4β1 integrin) and α4β7 integrin, and it plays an important role in leucocyte extravasation, particularly at sites of inflammation.
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.
