Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The 6D4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A (MICA, aka /PERB11.1) and B (MICB. aka /PERB11.2) proteins. These ñ70 kDa transmembrane glycoproteins are homologs of the major histocompatibility complex class I molecules although they lackassociation with β2 microglobulin. The MHC class I-related MICA and MICB chains are expressed by some gut epithelial cells in vivo. MICA and MICB expression by other epithelial cells and cell types, including fibroblasts and endothelial cells, is induced by stress, eg, stress caused by bacterial and viral infections, autoimmunity or cellular transformation. Epithelial cell expression of MICA and MICB has also been detected in transplanted kidneys and pancreas that show histological signs of rejection and or cellular injury. This suggests their potential role in transplant immunopathology. MICA and MICB are ligands for NKG2D (CD314), an activating receptor expressed by natural killer (NK) cells,γδ T cells,CD8+ andsome CD4+ αβ T cells. The 6D4 antibody reportedly blocks NKG2D-positive NK cell- and T cell-mediated cytotoxicity against MICA/B-positive target cells.

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.
