Description
The CC6-469 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (LRRC15). LRRC15 is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by LRRC15 which belongs to the Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain superfamily. LRRC15 is a 581 amino acid protein with 15 extracellular LRRs, a transmembrane region, and a short intracellular tail. LRRC15 is expressed by stromal cells found in the placenta, skin, lymphoid tissues, and by activated fibroblasts in wounds. LRRC15 is also expressed on fibroblasts in solid tumors including those of the breast, lung, head and neck, and pancreas and on cancer cells of mesenchymal origin found in sarcomas, melanomas, and glioblastomas. LRRC15 is involved in cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. LRRC15 expression can be highly upregulated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in response to TGF-β that reside in the tumor microenvironment.
Bead-based compensation or unmixing controls, such as BD® CompBeads or BD™ SpectraComp™, can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover when bound to fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies. Although these beads have spectral properties similar to cells, variations in spectral emission may occur, resulting in differing spillover values compared to biological controls. Therefore, it is considered best practice to compare the spillover obtained from cells and bead-based controls when using BD® CompBeads or BD™ SpectraComp™ for the first time, to ensure they are appropriate for the intended application.
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. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
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. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
6. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
