Description
The hTNFR-M1 antibody specifically recognizes the extracellular domain of the 75 kDa transmembrane receptor for the human cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF or TNF-α) and lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-α3, aka, lymphotoxin or TNF-β). This receptor is referred to as the p75 or Type II Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor (TNFRII) [aka, CD120b]. Human TNFRII proteins are expressed by hematopoietic cells including macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes, thymocytes and mast cells. TNFRII is expressed by a variety of other cell types including endothelial cells, cardiac myocytes and prostate cells. Naive B cells express very low or undetectable levels of TNFRII whereas mature erythrocytes and platelets are uniformly negative for TNFRII expression. The immunogen used to generate the hTNFR-M1 hybridoma was COS- expressed recombinant human TNFRII.
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.
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. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
5. 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. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.

7. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
8. 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.
