Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).

The 3D6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to c-Met (MET), which is also known as Hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) or Scatter factor receptor (SF receptor). c-Met is a 190 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is posttranslationally cleaved into a disulfide-linked extracellular α-chain and a transmembrane β-chain. c-Met functions as a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that is normally involved in the development, regeneration, and survival of cells and tissues. c-Met is expressed on a variety of cell types including stem cells and progenitor cells, hepatocytes, keratinocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and neurons. c-Met is autophosphorylated when bound by its ligand, Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF). This leads to further activation of downstream signaling pathways that induce multiple responses including cellular migration, proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. Abnormal c-Met expression or activity has been associated with tumorigenesis. The 3D6 antibody can reportedly function as an agonist by binding to and activating human but not mouse c-Met.
