Description
The 16F11 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the extracellular domain of Notch2. This Type 1 transmembrane protein is a member of the Notch family that includes Notch1-4. Notch ligands include membrane-bound Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta-like1, 3 and 4. Notch receptors mediate juxtacrine signals between adjacent cells. Upon ligand binding, Notch2 undergoes proteolytic cleavage that results in the release of the Notch intracellular domain, NICD. NICD translocates to the nucleus where it forms a transcriptional activator complex with the RBP-J DNA binding factor and other transcriptional cofactors. These multimeric complexes regulate the expression of multiple genes including those that orchestrate many facets of embryonic development and the subsequent functioning of cells within multiple organ systems. Notch2 is expressed on bone marrow cells, DN1 and DN2 thymocytes, B cells and activated T cells. Notch2 plays multiple roles in the immune system including the development of marginal zone B cells and the regulation of granzyme B expression by CD8+ T cells. In altered forms, Notch2 has been implicated in cellular transformation or progression in various neoplasms.
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.
