CD200 Monoclonal Antibody (OX104), NovaFluor™ Yellow 610, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The mAb OX104 recognizes human CD200 also known as OX2. CD200 is a member of the Ig superfamily with 2 Ig domains, a transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain. CD200 is expressed on resting and activated B cells, a subset of resting and activated T cells, keratinocytes, peripheral and central nerve cells, follicular dendritic cells and ovarian cells. The interaction with CD200R results in macrophage activation (IL-6 production), inhibition of mast cell degranulation along with reduced TNFalpha and IL-13 secretion and overall attenuation of the activation status of lymphocytes. A role has also been suggested in maternal tolerance as expression of CD200 is also present on the trophoblast. Applications Reported: This OX104 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This OX104 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at less than or equal to 0.06ug per test Our internal testing shows that NovaFluor Yellow 610 non-specifically stains B cells in SJL mice. Non-specific staining has not been observed in BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice. See the Antibody Testing Data for an example of this strain-dependent difference. Invitrogen LIVE/DEAD Fixable Dead Cell stains are recommended for use with NovaFluor dyes. Each NovaFluor conjugate or kit is shipped with CellBlox Blocking Buffer. Excitation: 552nm; Emission: 612nm; Laser: 561nm (Yellow) Laser
