BD, 555827, Purified Mouse Anti-Human CD30 BerH8 (also known as Ber-H8)

The BerH8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD30, a 120 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on stimulated T and B cells. CD30 is an activation marker initially identified to be expressed on Reed-Sternberg cells. It is also expressed on a few extrafollicular T and B cells located at the rim of germinal centers. CD30 serves as a cytokine receptor. It belongs to the nerve growth factor receptor/tumor necrosis factor receptor (NGFR/TNFR) superfamily and is also known as TNFRSF8. CD30 interaction with CD30 ligand (CD30L/CD153/TNFSF8) can mediate signals for proliferation, apoptosis and cytotoxicity of lymphoid cells.
BerH8 (anti-CD30) antibody is suitable for staining formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections without pretreatment.
Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
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.
