Description
The JOVI.1 monoclonal antibody recognizes an epitope common to a large proportion of human CD4+ or CD8+ T lymphocytes that express the T cell receptor beta chain (TCRβ). The antibody was generated from a mouse immunized with transgenic mouse lymphoid cells that expressed the rearranged human Vβ3-Cβ1 TCR chain derived from the cloned human HA1.7 T helper cell. This antibody reacts with TCR-Cβ1+ T cells and one of several different TCRβ V regions, but not with TCR-Cβ2+ T cells. JOV1.1 antibody reportedly recognized several Cβ1 TCR expressing cell lines or clones including Jurkat, CH7C17, and HA1.7 cells. The JOVI.1 antibody can be used to stimulate proliferative responses by JOVI.1-positive T cells. It can also reportedly be used for immunoprecipitation and to stain JOVI.1+ T cells in frozen tissue sections.
The antibody reagent is stable until the expiration date shown on the label when stored at 2° to 8°C. Do not use after the expiration date. Do not freeze the reagent or expose it to direct light during storage or incubation with cells. Keep the reagent vial dry. Do not use the reagent if you observe any change in appearance. Precipitation or discoloration indicates instability or deterioration.

4. 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).
5. Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.
