    APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD140a
    APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD140a
    Flow cytometric analysis of CD140a expression on mouse fibroblast NIH/3T3 cells. Fresh NIH/3T3 cells were stained with either APC Rat anti-Mouse CD140a antibody (Cat. No. 562777, solid line histogram) or APC Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 553932, dashed line histogram). The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable cells. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

    Preparation And Storage

    Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to APC under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free APC were removed.

    Product Notices

    1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
    2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
    3. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
    4. 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.
    5. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
    6. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

    APA5

    The APA5 antibody monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD140a, the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor alpha chain (PDGFR-a, PDGFR-α). CD140a is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is widely expressed on cells of mesenchymal origin in the embryo and adult. CD140a is expressed on several other cell types during embryonic development, but not on hematopoietic cells. CD140a binds to PDGF A and B chains, in contrast to PDGFR-b (CD140b) that binds only to the PDGF B chain.  Biologically active PDGF is a disulphide-linked dimer, forming the AA, AB, and BB isoforms. Ligand binding to the PDGF Receptor induces the formation of receptor dimers (aa, ab, or bb), autophosphorylation, and internalization.  The APA5 antibody has been demonstrated to block binding of  PDGF-AA to PDGFR-a-expressing cells in vitro  and to block some PDGF-mediated developmental events in vivo.

    APC
    Allophycocyanin (APC), is part of the BD family of phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 651 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 660 nm. APC is designed to be excited by the Red (627-640 nm) laser and detected using an optical filter centered near 660 nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
