Description
The SH1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse Siglec-G (sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin G), also known as Siglec10. Siglec-G is a Type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Immunoglobulin superfamily. Siglec-G functions as an adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. Siglec-G is expressed on cells of the B cell lineage. Siglec-G is most highly expressed by pre-B cells and B1a cells within the B cell lineage and is not detectable on T cells. Siglec-G can inhibit B cell receptor-mediated calcium signaling when it is overexpressed. Mice that lack Siglec-G have significantly increased numbers of B1a cells that begins early in development and is B cell intrinsic. Siglec-G-deficient mice have higher titers of natural IgM antibodies than their normal counterparts. Mouse Siglec-G is the ortholog of human Siglec-10 (also known as, CD330).
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. 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. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).

5. 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.
