Description
25-D1.16.rMAb is a recombinant monoclonal antibody derived from 25-D1.16 hybridoma cells. The 25-D1.16.rMAb specifically recognizes the ovalbumin (OVA)-derived peptide SIINFEKL (amino acid residues 257-264 of OVA) bound to the MHC class l antigen, H-2Kb. It does not bind to either unbound H-2Kb or H-2Kb bound to an irrelevant peptide. The 25-D1.16 antibody has been found useful in a variety of in vitro and in vivo experimental model systems to study the nature of antigen-presenting cells that can present the SIINFEKL peptide in an MHC class I-restricted fashion to T cells. The 25-D1.16 monoclonal antibody can reportedly inhibit the T cell response to H-2Kb-SIINFEKL and be used for immunofluorescent or immunohistochemical staining of H-2Kb-SIINFEKL-positive cells.
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 unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

2. 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.
3. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
4. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
