Description
The R19-760 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to NCAM-1 (Neural cell adhesion molecule 1) that is also known as CD56 and NKH1. NCAM-1 is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein and a member of the Ig supergene family. NCAM-1 represents an isoform of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). In the hematopoietic system, it is present on approximately 10% to 25% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. It is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T cells, NKT cells. It is not expressed on myeloid cells, erythrocytes or B cells. This molecule appears to function as an adhesion molecule and can serve as a panspecific NK-cell marker. The R19-760 antibody recognizes an epitope in the NCAM-1 (CD56) extracellular domain that resists destruction due to cellular fixation with BD Phosflow™ Lyse/Fix Buffer and permeabilization with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III.
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. 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.
