Description
The O323 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD27 which is also known as Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 7 (TNFRSF7), T14, Tp55, or S152. CD27 exists as a ~110-120 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer comprised of two single-pass type I transmembrane glycoproteins that are encoded by CD27 (CD27 molecule). CD27 is expressed on medullary thymocytes and T cells, with higher expression on activated T cells, and subsets of mature B cells and natural killer (NK) cells. A soluble 28-32 kDa form of CD27 is produced by lymphocytes upon cellular activation. Binding of the CD27 antigen, expressed on T cells, to its ligand, CD70 (CD27L), provides a costimulatory signal, leading to T cell proliferation, production of cytotoxic T cells, and enhanced production of cytokines. Binding of CD70 to CD27 expressed on B cells leads to B cell proliferation and the generation of plasma cells and immunoglobulin production. The CD27 antigen becomes hyperphosphorylated on serine residues upon activation of T cells. Signaling through the CD27 antigen activates NFκB and stress activated protein kinase (SAPK)/c Jun N terminal kinase (JNK).
BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
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 the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye 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. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
4. 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.
5. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
