Description
The LY9.7.144 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD229 which is also known as SLAM family member 3 (SLAMF3), Lymphocyte antigen 9 (Ly-9), Lgp100, and T100. CD229 is a ~90-120 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Ly9 (lymphocyte antigen 9) which belongs to the Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule (SLAM) family within the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. The extracellular domain of CD229 contains four extracellular Ig-like domains (2 V-set and 2 C-set) extending in order from the N-terminus as V-C2-V-C2. The intracellular region of CD229 contains two ITSMs (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motifs) and serves as a docking site for SH2-binding phosphatases and adapter molecules including SAP and EAT-2. CD229 is variably expressed on most thymocytes, T cells, NKT cells, B cells, NK cells, hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, and monocytes. CD229 participates in homophilic adhesion interactions between these cells and in the regulation of their 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.
