Description
The FLI8.26 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD32 which is also known as Fcγ receptor type II (FcγRII). CD32 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG. The FLI8.26 antibody recognizes a, b, and c forms of CD32 that are encoded by separate genes: CD32a/FcγRIIa (FCGR2A), CD32b/FcγRIIb (FCGR2B), and CD32c/FcγRIIc (FCGR2C). These forms are differentially expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, T cells, B cells, NK cells, or platelets. These receptors play various roles in mediating and regulating inflammation and immunity including phagocytosis, cytotoxicity, degranulation, or platelet activation.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
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 with BD Horizon BUV395 under optimal conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.
1. This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
4. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
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.
