Bio-Rad, BUF041A, Mouse Seroblock FcR | FCR4G8

Mouse Seroblock FcR is a rat antibody that recognizes mouse CD16 and CD32, cell surface proteins also known as FcRγIII and FcRγII, respectively. The function of these proteins is to bind IgG molecules via their Fc regions as part of the adaptive immune response. CD16 and/or CD32 are expressed by a wide variety of cells, including monocytes, macrophages, B lymphocytes, granulocytes, NK cells, dendritic cells and some activated T lymphocytes. The expression of CD16/CD32 antigens can lead to non-specific binding of test monoclonal antibodies in staining procedures, resulting in “high background” staining on a wide range of cells. This non-specific binding may be blocked by pre-incubation of target cells with BUF041A, resulting in clearer staining. For direct analysis of CD16/32 expression this antibody is also available conjugated directly to FITC ( MCA2305F ), AlexaFluor488 ( MCA2305A488 ), AlexaFluor647 ( MCA2305A647 ) and RPE ( MCA2305PE ).
