Description

Armenian Hamster Monoclonal Antibody

The MAR-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the Fc epsilon Receptor I alpha subunit, an IgE-binding subunit lacking signal-transducing ability. Fc epsilon RI alpha is expressed on mast and basophil cells and is up-regulated by the presence of IgE. Fc epsilon RI alpha forms a tetrameric complex with one beta and two gamma subunits. The beta and gamma subunits possess immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM). The Fc epsilon RI complex plays an important role in triggering IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Applications Reported: This MAR-1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This MAR-1 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of MC/9 cell line (a mouse mast cell line). This can be used at less than or equal to 0.06 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 optimal performance in the assay of interest. PerCP-eFluor 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome. Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixat...

Fc epsilon RI alpha, also known as FceR1 alpha, is a subunit of the high-affinity receptor for IgE, primarily expressed on mast cells and basophils. Its expression is upregulated by the presence of IgE. Fc epsilon RI alpha forms a tetrameric complex with one beta and two gamma subunits, which are essential for signal transduction. The beta and gamma subunits contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). The Fc epsilon RI complex plays a crucial role in triggering IgE-mediated allergic reactions. When allergen-bound IgE molecules bring together two or more high-affinity IgE receptors, it leads to the release of mediators such as histamine, which are responsible for allergy symptoms. This process couples allergens and mast cells to initiate inflammatory responses characteristic of allergic disorders like hay fever and asthma. The release of histamine and proteases also leads to the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are potent effectors of the hypersensitivity response.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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.
