IL-17 Receptor B Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 421, Clone: 6B7, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 6B7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to IL-17 Receptor B (IL-17RB), which is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein and a component of the heterodimeric receptor for IL-25 (also known as IL-17E)
• Several components of the IL-17RB signaling mechanism have been identified, including ACT1, TRAF4, SMURF2, DAZAP2, and STAT5
• The cytoplasmic tails of both of the IL-25 Receptor components, IL-17RA and IL-17RB, and ACT1 contain the SEFIR (similar expression to fibroblast growth factor genes and IL-17R) domain that is essential for IL-25R-mediated signaling
• Signaling through IL-17RB mediates Th2 immune responses and is responsible for pathogenesis in a murine model for asthma
• IL-17RB is found on subsets of iNKT cells, Th2 cells, some myeloid cells in solid organs, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in lung, peritoneum, mesenteric lymph nodes and bone marrow
• 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 407nm and Em Max at 421nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50nm filter)
• BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates
• BV421 is a polymer-based dye excited by the violet laser and is one of the brightest fluorochromes offered by BD Biosciences
• Conjugates are typically 10 times brighter than Pacific Blue™ conjugates and are often as bright as or brighter than PE conjugates
• Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, BD Horizon BV421, Pacific Blue™, and BD Horizon™ V450 cannot be used simultaneously.
