Description
The SY/11B5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD157 which is also known as BST-1 (Bone marrow stromal antigen 1), BP-3/IF-7, Mo5, ADP-ribosyl cyclase 2, and cADPr hydrolase 2. CD157 is a 40-46 kDa glycophosphatidylinositol-linked cell membrane glycoprotein. It is an ectoenzyme that has both cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activities. CD157 is expressed as a homodimer by a variety of cell types including bone marrow stromal cells, granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and B and T cell progenitors. In addition to its ectoenzyme activities, CD157 reportedly functions as a receptor involved in neutrophil and monocyte adhesion, transendothelial migration and diapedesis and in tumor cell migration.
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. 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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
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. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
