BD Pharmingen™ Purified Mouse Anti-A2B5

Clone 105/A2B5 (also known as antibody A2B5, F12A2B5; 105)

(RUO)
Purified Mouse Anti-A2B5
Flow cytometric analysis of A2B5 expression on mouse pancreatic tumor (insulinoma) cells and Human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neurons. Mouse Beta-TC-6 cells (ATCC, CRL-11506; left panel) or human H9 (WiCell, Madison, WI) hESC-derived neurons (right panel) were harvested with Accutase™ Cell Detachment Solution (Cat. No. 561527). The cells were stained with either Purified Mouse IgM, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555581, dashed line histograms) or Purified Mouse Anti- A2B5 monoclonal antibody (solid line histograms) at matched concentrations. Dot plots were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics of viable cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSRFortessa™ flow cytometry system.

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. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

105/A2B5

The 105/A2B5 monoclonal antibody binds to gangliosides in neural tissue in the retina, brain, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia. The antigenic gangliosides are found on the plasma membrane of neural cell bodies, but not axons or dendrites. Expression levels of the gangliosides that mAb 105/A2B5 binds to, including GT3 and its O-acetylated derivative, decrease during embryonic development of the brain. Thus, mAb 105/A2B5 may be used to monitor the maturation of brain tissue. A2B5 antigens have also been associated with numerous tumors, including glioblastoma multiforme tumor cells, pancreatic islet tumor cells, and rat insulinoma cells, and are thought to contribute to chemoresistance and increased tumor proliferation and recurrence.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
