Description
The HBF-719 antibody reacts with the B6 alloantigen of Ly-49F, an inhibitory receptor which is expressed on subsets of natural killer (NK) cells, NK-1.1+ (or DX5+) T lymphocytes (NK-T cells), and on a population of memory CD8+ T lymphocytes in C57BL/6 mice, 1 but not AKR/J, BALB/c, C3H/HeN, DBA/1, or SJL mice.3 The Ly-49 family of NK-cell receptors are disulfide linked type-II transmembrane protein homodimers with extracellular carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD). The Ly-49 family members are expressed independently, such that an individual NKor T-cell may display more than one class of Ly-49 receptor homodimers. Ly-49F has an ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) in its cytoplasmic tail. Therefore, it is probably an inhibitory receptor. It weakly binds to cells expressing the H-2d MHC class I alloantigens.

R-phycoerythrin (PE) is an accessory photosynthetic pigment found in red algae. It exists in vitro as a 240-kDa protein with 23 phycoerythrobilin chromophores per molecule. This makes PE one of the brightest fluorochromes for flow cytometry applications, but its photobleaching properties make it unsuitable for fluorescence microscopy.

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