Description
The S-HCL-3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD11c which is also known as Integrin alpha X (Integrin αX), Complement component 3 receptor 4 subunit or CR4. CD11c is a ~150 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ITGAX (integrin subunit alpha X). CD11c (Integrin αX) is expressed on dendritic cells, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, NK cells and subsets of B and T cells. CD11c (Integrin αX) is also present on hairy cell leukemias (HCL) and on some acute myeloid leukemias (AML). The S-HCL-3 antibody stains sinus histiocytes of lymph node, tonsil, and spleen; macrophages in the cortex and medulla of thymus; Kupffer cells in liver; elongated intertubular cells in kidney; and alveolar macrophages in lung tissue. In malignant tissue, the antibody stains true histiocytic lymphomas; it does not stain carcinomas or T or B lymphomas. CD11c (Integrin αX) associates with CD18 (ITGB2/Integrin beta-2) to form the CD11c/ CD18 heterodimer which is likewise known as Leukocyte adhesion receptor p150,95 or Complement receptor type 4 (CR4). Ligands for this heterodimeric adhesion receptor include fibrinogen, iC3b, CD23, and CD54 (ICAM-1).
Put all BD® AbSeq Reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for ≥ 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening.
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 and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
2. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
3. 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.
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.
