CD54 Mouse Anti-Rat, BUV395, Clone: 1A29, BD Optibuild™

Beskrivning

The 1A29 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes ICAM-1 which is also known as CD54. ICAM-1 is an 85 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Icam1 (Intercellular adhesion molecule 1). It is expressed on vascular endothelium in lymphoid tissues, thymic stromal cells, peripheral blood monocytes, peritoneal macrophages and mast cells, dendritic cells, and weakly on peripheral lymphocytes and thymocytes. ICAM-1 is a ligand for LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18). Its expression is upregulated on activated lymphocytes and endothelial cells. 1A29 mAb inhibits Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA)-induced aggregation of phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated splenic blasts, as well as the adhesion of mitogen-stimulated blasts to high endothelial venule (HEV) cells and purified ICAM-1. The 1A29 antibody can reportedly inhibit leucocyte infiltration in in vivo systems, blocks induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, and reduces NK-cell adhesion to tumor cells.

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.
