Description

The 1G8 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM). ESAM is a ~55 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ESAM (Endothelial cell-specific adhesion molecule) which belongs to the immunoglobulin supergene superfamily (IgSF). ESAM contains an IgV-type and IgC2-type domain in its extracellular region followed by a transmembrane sequence and cytoplasmic tail. ESAM is strongly expressed on platelets, megakaryocytes, and endothelial cells at interendothelial cell junctions as well as dendritic cells. Through homophilic interactions, this interendothelial cell adhesion molecule may play roles in regulating vascular permeability and in the extravasation of leucocytes, eg, neutrophils, through blood vessel walls. ESAM is also reportedly expressed on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). ESAM-positive cell populations are enriched for multipotent myeloid erythroid progenitors and primitive progenitors with lymphopoietic activity.

  • Excitation Max 650 nm
  • Emission Max 668 nm

Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugates are highly photostable and remain fluorescent over a broad pH range. The excitation and emission maxima are nearly identical to those of APC. However, APC tends to be brighter while Alexa Fluor® 647 is more optimal for intracellular applications. This fluorochrome exhibits uncommon photostability, making it an ideal choice for use in fluorescence microscopy. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, APC and Alexa Fluor® 647 cannot be used simultaneously.

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® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.

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. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  5. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  6. 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.

BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
