Description
The 6F9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD96, also known as TACTILE (T cell activation increased late expression). CD96 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the Ig superfamily. CD96 is expressed at low levels on resting natural killer (NK) cells and T cells and at high levels on activated NK and T cells. CD96 is also expressed on some T-cell leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia cells. CD96 may serve as a marker for acute myelogenous leukemia stem cells. CD96 plays a role in the adhesive interactions of activated NK and T cells during immune responses. CD96 binds to the poliovirus receptor (CD155) that is highly expressed by some tumor cells. CD155-mediated ligation of CD96 can induce NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. CD96-mediated uptake of CD155 may adversely affect NK cells and thus reduce their effectiveness in anti-tumor responses.
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.
