Description
The LMM741 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD114 which is also known as the Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor Receptor (G-CSFR). CD114 is a ~150 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by CSF3R (colony stimulating factor 3 receptor) and belongs to the class 1 cytokine receptor family. CD114 is expressed on granulocytes, monocytes, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, platelets, placenta and myeloid leukemias and a variety of tumor cell lines. CD114 serves as the receptor for granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) which plays a role in myeloid cell proliferation and differentiation. The immunogen used to generate this hybridoma was cells transfected with an expression vector containing a full-length cDNA encoding the human G-CSFR.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes 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 or 566349). When setting up compensation, it is recommended to compare spillover values obtained from cells and BD™ CompBeads to ensure that beads will provide sufficiently accurate spillover values. For optimal results, it is recommended to perform two washes after staining with antibodies. Cells may be prepared, stained with antibodies and washed twice with wash buffer per established protocols for immunofluorescent staining prior to acquisition on a flow cytometer. Performing fewer than the recommended wash steps may lead to increased spread of the negative population.
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 BB700 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.
