Description
The 24F.10C12 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Programmed Death Ligand 2 (PD-L2, PDL2) which is also known as CD273, and B7-DC (B7DC). PD-L2 (CD273) is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by PDCD1LG2 (programmed cell death 1 ligand 2) which belongs to the B7 family within the Ig superfamily. PD-L2 (CD273) serves as a ligand for CD279, the Programmed Death 1 (PD-1) receptor. CD273 is expressed on dendritic cells, activated monocytes, medullary thymic epithelial cells, placental trophoblasts, and myocardial endothelium. PD-L2 (CD273) can function as a coinhibitor of T cell functions by binding to and signaling through CD279 (PD-1). PD-L2 (CD273) can also reportedly act through another receptor to costimulate T cell activation and cytokine production. The 24F.10C12 antibody can reportedly block the binding of PD-L2 (CD273) to CD279 (PD-1).
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 cells 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 unreacted dye was removed.
1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. 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).
3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
4. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
5. 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.
6. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
