Invitrogen™ CD200 Monoclonal Antibody (OX90), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™

Description

Description: The monoclonal antibody OX90.1 recognizes mouse 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 TNF alpha and IL-13 secretion and overall attenuation of the activation status of lymphocytes. Applications Reported: This OX90 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This OX90 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. 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 optimal performance in the assay of interest. PerCP-eFluor® 710 can be used in place of PE-Cy5, PE-Cy5.5 or PerCP-Cy5.5. PerCP-eFluor® 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome. For a filter configuration, we recommend using the 685 LP dichroic...

CD200 is a type-1 membrane glycoprotein in the immunoglobulin superfamily, featuring two immunoglobulin domains. It is widely expressed on various cells, including B and T cells, keratinocytes, nerve cells, follicular dendritic cells, ovarian cells, and trophoblasts. CD200 interacts with CD200R on myeloid cells, inhibiting macrophage activation, reducing IL-6 production, and attenuating lymphocyte activation. It also prevents mast cell degranulation and decreases TNF-alpha and IL-13 secretion, playing a role in immune regulation and maternal tolerance. Homologues of CD200 are found in herpesviruses and poxviruses, indicating a conserved immune modulation function. CD200 has multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, contributing to its functional diversity. Diseases linked to CD200 dysfunction include Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Primary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy, highlighting its importance in health and disease.
