Description
The 3F9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD210a, which is also known as, Interleukin-10 Receptor subunit alpha (IL-10R subunit alpha/IL-10Rα/IL10RA), or Interleukin-10 receptor subunit 1 (IL-10R1). CD210a is a 90-110 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. CD210a combines with IL-10 Receptor subunit beta (IL-10Rβ/IL10RB/CDw210b) to form the IL-10 Receptor complex (IL-10Rα/IL-10Rβ) that can bind IL-10 and transduce signals intracellularly through the JAK/STAT pathway. IL-10 can suppress antigen presentation and the expression of proinflammatory type-1 immune responses while promoting type-2 immune responses. CD210a is expressed on T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocyte, macrophages and dendritic cells. Clone 3F9 is specific for human CD210a and its binding to the receptor can be blocked by recombinant human IL-10 (rhIL-10) protein.
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.
