Description
The 6B1monoclonal antibody specifically binds to TREM-1 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 1 or Triggering Receptor Expressed on Monocytes 1) which is also known as CD354. CD354 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD354 is highly expressed by neutrophils and monocytes. It is also reportedly expressed at lower levels by a variety of cells including subsets of T and B cells, NK cells and dendritic cells. Its expression is upregulated on leucocytes in response to microbial lipopolysaccharide, eg, during microbial infections or sepsis. CD354 activation triggers the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. A soluble form of CD354 has been described that may play a protective role in some infectious disease states.
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.
