Description
The K10.6 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Lyb-2.1, Lyb-2.2, and Lyb-2.4 (CD72 a, b, and d alloantigens, respectively). CD72 is a 45-kDa type-II membrane protein, containing a C-type lectin-like domain and ITIM and ITIM-like sequences in the cytoplasmic tail. CD72 is expressed at all stages of B-lymphocyte development except plasma cells, and it has been shown to negatively regulate B-cell receptor signaling. Analysis of CD72-deficient mice supports these results and shows that CD72 is involved in B-cell development. CD72-stimulated B cells show a transient association of CD19 with CD72, as well as an increase in Tyr-phosphorylation of CD19. CD72 is reported to be a ligand for CD5, although this is controversial. It is also reported to be a ligand for CD100 (Sema4D). The CD72 alloantigens Lyb-2.1 (originally identified as Ly-m19.2), Lyb-2.2 (originally identified as Ly-32.2), Lyb-2.3, and Lyb-2.4 are encoded by the Cd72[a], Cd72[b], Cd72[c], and Cd72[d] alleles, respectively. Lyb-2.1 is expressed on B lymphocytes of CBA/J, C3H/Bi, C57BR, C57L, C58, DBA/1, DBA/2, and SWR strains. Lyb-2.2 is expressed on B lymphocytes, a subset of peripheral T cells, and activated T lymphocytes in A, BALB/c, CBA/H, C3H/He, C57BL, PL, and 129 strains. Lyb-2.4 is expressed on a subset of splenocytes of the STS/A strain. K10.6 antibody does not react with Lyb-2.3 (AKR and SJL strains) nor with non-lymphoid tissues. Five serological specificities of CD72 alloantigens have been described and the nomenclature CD72.1, CD72.2, CD72.3, CD72.4, and CD72.5 proposed, which does not correspond to the names of the alleles. Some authors have referred to the specificity of mAb K10.6 as CD72.4.
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.
