Description
The 7G3 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human CD123, the 70 kDa IL-3 Receptor α (IL-3Rα) chain. CD123 associates with CD131, the 120-140 kDa Common β chain to form the IL-3 Receptor Complex. CD131 is shared with the receptors for interleukins IL-5 and GM-CSF. IL-3Rα is expressed on hematopoietic progenitors and plays an important role in hematopoietic progenitor cell growth and differentiation. It is also expressed by mast cells, macrophages and a CD5+ B cell subset. This antibody has been reported to block the binding of 125I-IL-3 to high and low affinity IL-3 receptors. In functional experiments, this antibody was found to inhibit acute myeloid leukemia cell proliferation, basophil histamine release, endothelial cell-mediated IL-8 secretion, and neutrophil transmigration. This antibody has been reported to be useful for immunoprecipitation, Western blot and immunofluorescent staining for flow cytometry. At the Fifth HLDA Workshop, the human IL-3 receptor was designated CD123.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet for the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385). When setting up compensation, it is recommended to compare spillover values obtained from cells and BD™ CompBeads to ensure that beads will provide sufficiently accurate spillover values. For optimal results, it is recommended to perform two washes after staining with antibodies. Cells may be prepared, stained with antibodies and washed twice with wash buffer per established protocols for immunofluorescent staining, prior to acquisition on a flow cytometer. Performing fewer than the recommended wash steps may lead to increased spread of the negative population.
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 with BD Horizon™ BB700 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BB700 were 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.
