Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Human HLA-ABC
Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Human HLA-ABC
Flow cytometric analysis of Alexa 488 anti-human HLA-A,B,C on lymphocytes. Whole blood was stained with Alexa 488 anti-human HLA-A,B,C  (clone DX17 , Cat. No. 560169) and compared to whole blood stained with a Alexa 488 mouse IgG1 isotype control (clone MOPC-21, Cat. No. 557702).   The isotype control is represented by a dashed line and the Alexa 488 anti-human HLA-A,B,C by the solid line. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ System and the histograms were derived from the gated events based on light scattering characteristics of viable cells.

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® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

Product Notices

  1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  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.
  5. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
  6. 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.
  7. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

DX17

The DX17 monoclonal antibody reacts with a monomorphic epitope expressed on all HLA (human leukocyte antigen) class I molecules examined.  DX17 immunoprecipitates HLA class I heavy chains (45 kDa) and β2-microglobulin (12kDa) from radiolabeled human cell lines.  HLA is determined by a complex segment of the short arm of chromosome 6 and there are many human HLAs encoded in this segment. The antigenic agglomerate is called MHC, for major histocompatibility complex. Examples of class I loci are HLA-A, -B, and -C, which are serologically assayed; class II loci, e.g., HLA-D/DR and DC1, are tested by lymphocytotoxic methods.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
