Description
The 3D3 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes FcγRII (CD32), a 40 kDa, polymorphic type I transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a low affinity receptor for aggregated IgG. This highly glycosylated molecule (encoded by at least two different genes) is expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, platelets and B cells. Unlike the FLI28.26 mAb, the 3D3 mAb detected a polymorphic CD32 antigen expressed on B cells of all donors, but only on platelets, monocytes and granulocytes of some donors. The platelets from 3D3+ donors respond to certain stimulatory mAb such as CD165 (clone SN2) which results in aggregation. On the other hand, the platelets from 3D3 negative donors do not form aggregates after stimulation. Individuals can be divided into two groups as responder and non-responder depending on expression, or non-expression, of 3D3. In comparison to the 3D3 mAb, the FLI8.26 mAb detects a monomorphic CD32 antigen expressed on all human donors.
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.
