Description

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The monoclonal antibody bg1fpj recognizes mouse CD369, also known as Dectin-1 or CLEC7A, a type II transmembrane protein in the C-type lectin family. The ligand is beta1, 3-glycan. Beta glycans are a main component in polysaccharides and specifically beta1,3-linked carbohydrates are found in the cell wall of fungi, plants and some bacteria. CD369 has been found to bind Candida, Aspergillis, Pneumocystis, Coccidioides and Mycobacterium. Calcium dependent binding to ligand signals through syk via the ITAM domain in the cytoplasmic portion and results in endocyotosis/phagocytosis and production of cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-23). A direct role in Th17 and Th1 differentiation has been attributed to CD369 signaling. CD369 is expressed predominantly on myeloid cells (neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells). Low levels have also been reported on lymphocytes and mucosal epithelium. Applications Reported: This bg1fpj antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This bg1fpj antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse peripheral blood cellls. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for opti...

CLEC7A, also known as dectin-1, is a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily and is predominantly expressed on myeloid cells. It is a small glycoprotein type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-type lectin-like domain fold and a cytoplasmic domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). CLEC7A functions as a pattern-recognition receptor that recognizes a variety of beta-1,3-linked and beta-1,6-linked glucans from fungi and plants, and in this way plays a role in innate immune response. Upon fungal exposure, CLEC7A activates Syk tyrosine kinase, triggering a massive oxidative burst through the formation of reactive oxygen species.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
