CD180 Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 421, Clone: RP/14, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The RP/14 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD180, the “radioprotective” 105 kDa (RP105) antigen expressed on mature B lymphocytes
• Like other members of the Toll-like Receptor (TLR) family, the extracellular region of CD180 contains tandem repeats of a leucine-rich motif flanked by regions containing conserved cysteines
• These characteristic structural components of TLR may mediate protein-protein interactions and regulation of signal transduction involved in innate immune responses
• Furthermore, CD180 associates with the secretory protein MD-1 on the cell surface
• Cross-linking of cell-surface CD180 with the RP/14 antibody induces activation signals in B lymphocytes
• Despite the expression of CD180 on lymphocytes of all strains tested (BALB/c, BALB/c
• xid , C3H, C57BL/6, CBA/N, and 129/Sv), some strains (BALB/c
• xid , C57BL/6
• xid , CBA/N, 129/Sv, and 129/Ola) display deficient responses to that stimulatory effects of mAb RP/14
• The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes
• With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter)
• BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.
