BD, 551073, APC Mouse Anti-Human CD83 HB15e

The HB15e monoclonal antibody specifically binds to a 45 kDa type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein member of the Ig superfamily. CD83 is composed of a single V-type Ig extracellular domain with a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Cell surface CD83 is expressed mainly by follicular dendritic cells, circulating dendritic cells, interdigitating dendritic cells in lymphoid tissues, in vitro-generated dendritic cells and thymic dendritic cells. However, its expression is not restricted to dendritic cells. CD83 is also expressed on some germinal center B cells and some lymphoblastoid cell lines. Although its function is not known, it may play a role in cell-cell interaction during antigen presentation.

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 APC under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free APC were removed.
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. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
4. 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.
5. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
