Description

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

The M3/84 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD107b which is also known as Mac-3, Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2/Lamp2/Lamp II), and Lysosomal membrane glycoprotein type B (LGP-B). CD107b is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that constitutes a major integral membrane protein of lysosomes and may play a role in lysosomal function. CD107b is also expressed on the surface of mouse mononuclear phagocytes. Surface expression of the 92-110-kDa glycoprotein antigen increases during differentiation of monocytes to activated macrophages and may play a role in adhesion. The M3/84 mAb can detect CD107b antigen on tissue macrophages, thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages, and some myeloid cell lines, but not on lymphocytes or monocytes. In the bone marrow, very few cells display CD107b antigen on the surface, but a large proportion express cytoplasmic CD107b. The M3/84 antibody has also been reported to stain dendritic cells and endothelium in sections of thymus (both medulla and cortex), lymph nodes, spleen (white pulp), and gut-associated lymphoid tissue.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407nm and Em Max at 421nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates. BV421 is a polymer-based dye excited by the violet laser and is one of the brightest fluorochromes offered by BD Biosciences. Conjugates are typically 10 times brighter than Pacific Blue™ conjugates and are often as bright as or brighter than PE conjugates. Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, BD Horizon BV421, Pacific Blue™, and BD Horizon™ V450 cannot be used simultaneously.
