CD212 Mouse anti-Human, BUV395, Clone: 2.4E6 (also known as 2-4E6), BD Optibuild™

Description

The 2.4E6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD212, which is also known as the Interleukin-12 Receptor beta-1 chain (IL12RB1/IL-12RB1/IL-12Rβ1). CD212 serves as a subunit for the functional IL-12 Receptor (IL-12Rβ1-IL-12Rβ2) and IL-23 Receptor (IL-12Rβ1-IL-23R) complexes. CD212 is expressed on T cells, B cells, or NK cells. CD212 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the hemopoietin receptor superfamily. CD212 is responsible for binding to the IL-12 p40 subunit that is common to the heterodimeric IL-12 and IL-23 cytokines. IL-12 and IL-23 are immunomodulatory cytokines produced mainly by antigen-presenting cells (APC) including monocytes and dendritic cells. These cytokines have overlapping as well as distinct biological activities.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter. BUV395 is a UV-excitable dye that has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences. With an excitation max of 348 nm and emission max of 395 nm, BUV395 can be excited by the 355nm laser and detected in a 379/28 filter. This dye is optimal for multicolor flow cytometry because it has little to no spillover into other detectors.
