Description
The 493 antibody reacts with a cell-surface protein of 130-140 kDa expressed on immature B lymphocytes and a small fraction of newly formed B cells, but not on mature B lymphocytes. The antigen's distribution was defined through the use of antibodies to CD24 (Heat Stable Antigen), IgM, IgD, and CD45R/B220, which are commonly used to discriminate B-cell maturation stages. 493 mAb reacts with the majority of B220+ cells in bone marrow and a fraction of B220+ B cells in spleen, which are CD24[high], IgM[high], and IgD[low]. Cells binding 493 mAb were not detected in thymus, lymph nodes, or peritoneal cavity. This result suggested that 493 mAb does not stain B-1 B cells (CD5+ B lymphocytes), which are particularly found in the peritoneal cavity. The 493 mAb does not seem to have any biological effect when incubated with immature B lymphocytes. It has been observed that the staining pattern of mAb 493 is similar to that of mAb AA4.1, that both antibodies precipitate molecules of the same molecular weight, and that staining by mAb AA4.1 is not blocked by mAb 493, suggesting that the antibodies recognize separate epitopes of the same Early B Lineage antigen.
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.
