BD, 566648, Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human IDO1 V50-1886.79.78

The V50-1886 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human IDO1, or indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1, a rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of tryptophan. IDO1 is expressed in normal epithelial, endothelial and myeloid cells and in tumor cells. Its expression is induced by interferon gamma and increases in viral and bacterial infections. The reduction of tryptophan and increase in its metabolites that are mediated by IDO1 have critical immunosuppressive and bactericidal effects.

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