CD279 Hamster anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 510, Clone: J43, BD Optibuild™

Armenian Hamster Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 744544

Catalog No. BDB744544

Description

The J43 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD279 which is also known as PD-1 (programmed death-1). CD279 is a 50-55-kDa glycoprotein encoded by the Pdcd1 /gene of the CD28 family of the Ig superfamily. The expression of Pdcd1 mRNA and PD-1 protein is tightly regulated. PD-1 is transiently expressed on CD4-CD8 thymocytes, it is upregulated on some cell lines upon induction of apoptosis, it is induced on thymocytes and splenic T and B lymphocytes after stimulation through their antigen receptors, and it is induced on activated myeloid cells. In addition, Pdcd1 /mRNA is transiently expressed in developing B lymphocytes at the pro-B-cell stage. The presence of an ITIM ( I /mmunoreceptor T /yrosine-based I /nhibitory M /otif) on PD-1's intracytoplasmic region and the development of splenomegaly and breakdown of peripheral tolerance in PD-1[-/-] mice suggest that PD-1 may be involved in the negative regulation of immune responses. The PD-1 ligands, B7-H1 (also known as PD-L1) and B7-DC (PD-L2), are members of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. The J43 antibody blocks the binding of PD-1 to its two ligands.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV510 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 405nm and Em Max at 510nm, BD Horizon BV510 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon V500 (525/50nm) filter set. BD Horizon BV510 conjugates are useful for the detection of dim markers off the violet laser. BV510 is a polymer-based dye that is brighter than BD Horizon V500. Due to similar excitation and emission properties, BD Horizon BV510 and BD Horizon V500 cannot be used simultaneously.
