Description
The Y129 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD317 which is also known as Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST2). CD317 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Tetherin family. CD317 is an interferon (IFN)-induced protein that is expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, dendritic cells, B lymphoblasts, plasma cells, T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, stromal cells and myeloma cells. CD317 is expressed by nonhematopoietic cells including cells within solid tumors derived from breast, lung and kidney. CD317 may be involved in the interactions between bone marrow stromal cells and lymphocytes. It is likewise known as Tetherin and reportedly blocks the release of some enveloped viruses by tethering virions to infected cell membranes. CD317 stimulates signaling by CD85g (ILT7) and may provide negative feedback for interferon (IFN) production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells during viral infections.
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® 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 BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads 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 unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed.

2. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
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. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
5. 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).
6. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
7. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
