Description
The J90-462 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD6. CD6 is a 105-130 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the scavenger receptor family. It is expressed on most thymocytes and peripheral T cells. CD6 is highly expressed on CD3-high thymocytes and expressed at lower levels on CD4+ CD8+ double positive and CD4+CD8- or CD4-CD8+ single positive thymocytes. CD6 is also reportedly expressed at low levels by some neurons. CD6 serves as a receptor for CD166, also known as Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule (ALCAM). CD6 plays a role in adhesion and migration during organogenesis. The CD6 intracellular domain is constitutively phosphorylated which suggests that CD6 may play a signaling role in T cell activation.
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.
