Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 ζ (CD247)
Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 ζ (CD247)
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of CD3ζ (CD247) expression on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were fixed and permeabilized with the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit (Cat. No. 554714). The cells were then stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (CD3ε; Cat. No. 562426/562427) and with either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557714) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD3ζ (CD247) antibody at 1 µg/test (Cat. No. 566651). Flow-cytometric pseudocolor dot plots showing the correlated expression of CD3ε versus CD3ζ (CD247) expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact human peripheral blood leucocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Flow Cytometer System. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

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 Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was 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. 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.
  4. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.

6B10.2

The 6B10.2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD3 zeta (CD3Z or CD3ζ), which is also known as either CD247 or the invariant TCR zeta chain (TCRZ, T3Z, or TCRζ). CD3ζ (CD247) is a ~16 kDa single-pass, type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the CD3Z/FCER1G family. CD3ζ (CD247) has a short extracellular domain of nine amino acids and a cytoplasmic domain that contains three immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs).  Disulfide-linked CD3ζ homodimers usually associate with other transmembrane CD3 protein subunits (CD3δ, CD3ε, and CD3γ) to form the CD3 signaling complex which is linked to the clonotypic T cell receptor (TCR) for antigen, αβ TCR or γδ TCR. CD3ζ (CD247) is also expressed by natural killer (NK) cells where it can function as a signaling subunit associated with CD16a (FcγRIIIa), a receptor for IgG complexes. Human CD16a can couple with either CD3ζ or FcεRIγ homodimers, or CD3ζ-FcεRIγ heterodimers that serve to transduce IgG-bound CD16a-mediated signals intracellularly. Low or absent CD3ζ (CD247) expression is reportedly associated with impaired immune responses leading to some chronic infections or autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. The 6B10.2 antibody is directed against the cytoplasmic domain of human CD3ζ (CD247).

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-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.
