Description
The DX27 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD158b1 (KIRDL2/NKAT6), CD158b2 (KIRDL3/NKAT2), and CD158j (KIR2DS2/NKAT5) which are members of the Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) family within the Ig superfamily. CD158b1 and CD158j contain two (KIR2D) Ig-like extacellular domains whereas CD158b2 contains three (KIR3D) Ig-like domains. These polymorphic CD158 molecules are expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T cells and can recognize MHC class I molecules on target cells. They serve as either inhibitory receptors (CD158b1, CD158b2) that express immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) in their cytoplasmic domains or activating receptors (CD158j) that lack ITIMs.
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.
