The X54-5/7.1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes FcγRI (CD64) encoded by the more common Fcgr1a and Fcgr1b alleles. The alloantigens generated by the Fcgr1a and Fcgr1b alleles, have been confirmed positive in mouse strains BALB/c and C57BL/6 and reported positive in strains 129, A, AKR, ALR, BUB, C3H, C57BL/10, C57BLKS, C57BR, C58, CBA, CE, DBA/2, HRS, MRL, NON, NZB, NZO, NZW, PL, SJL, ST, SWR. The a and b alloantigens have been reported negative in mouse strains ABH, NOD. CD64, a key receptor in the development of immune responses, has a dual role as a low affinity receptor for IgG3 and high affinity receptor for IgG2a linking innate and adaptive immunities. CD64 mediates endocytosis, phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular toxicity, cytokine release and superoxide generation. CD64 is expressed largely on macrophages and dendritic cells.

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 BV786 under optimal conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.
1. This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
2. 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.
3. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
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.
