c-Met Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: 3D6, BD Optibuild™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Manufacturer:  BD Biosciences 742874

Catalog No. BDB742874

Description

The 3D6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to c-Met (MET), which is also known as Hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) or Scatter factor receptor (SF receptor). c-Met is a 190 kDa single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is posttranslationally cleaved into a disulfide-linked extracellularα-chain and a transmembraneβ-chain. c-Met functions as a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that is normally involved in the development, regeneration, and survival of cells and tissues. c-Met is expressed on a variety of cell types including stem cells and progenitor cells, hepatocytes, keratinocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and neurons. c-Met is autophosphorylated when bound by its ligand, Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF). This leads to further activation of downstream signaling pathways that induce multiple responses including cellular migration, proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. Abnormal c-Met expression or activity has been associated with tumorigenesis. The 3D6 antibody can reportedly function as an agonist by binding to and activating human but not mouse c-Met.

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407nm and Em Max of 602nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser. BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome that combines BD Horizon BV421 and Cy™3.5. These conjugates are very bright, exhibiting similar brightness to equivalent PE conjugates. Due to the excitation of Cy3.5 by the green (532nm) and yellow-green (561nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover of the BD Horizon BV605 signal into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers.
