Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette.
BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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 production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.

The 7B11 (also known as CMSSC-7B11) monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human GARP (Glycoprotein A repetitions predominant). The LRRC32 (Leucine rich repeat containing 32) gene encodes the 662 amino acid-residue, 80 kDa transmembrane GARP glycoprotein that has an extracellular region composed primarily of 20 leucine-rich repeats. GARP is specifically expressed on Treg cells activated through the T cell receptor (TCR). Ectopic expression of GARP in human naïve T cells inhibited their proliferation and cytokine secretion upon TCR activation. Remarkably, GARP over-expression in naïve T cells induced expression of FoxP3 and endowed them with a partial suppressive function. The extracellular, but not the cytoplasmic region, of GARP was necessary for these functions. GARP serves as a receptor for latent TGF-beta which may play a role in the suppressive action of Treg cells. GARP is also expressed on platelets and other tissues, however the function on these cells is not known.
