Specific Information

Description: This 2A9-1 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CX3CR1, which is the receptor for fractalkine, a transmembrane chemokine of the CX3C family. CX3CR1 is a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor expressed on CD16+ NK cells, T cells (e.g. CD8+, CD4+, and gamma/delta), and monocytes. In non-immune cells, CX3CR1 has been found on osteoclast precursors and microglia. Little to no CX3CR1 surface expression can be detected on B cells and granulocytes. Together, fractalkine and its receptor mediate cell-cell adhesion and chemotaxis of NK cells, T cells, and monocytes. The expression of CX3CR1 has also been correlated with high levels of intracellular perforin and granzyme B.

Applications Reported: This 2A9-1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This 2A9-1 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5 µL (0.5 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.

Super Bright 702 is a tandem dye that can be excited with the violet laser line (405 nm) and emits at 702 nm. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome.

When using two or more Super Bright dye-conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, it is recommended to use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Product # SB-4401) to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions. Please refer to the datasheet for Super Bright Staining Buffer for more information.

Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation. Please protect this vial and stained samples from light.

Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product # 00-8222) (100 µL of cell sample + 100 µL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product # 00-5333) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically.

Excitation: 405 nm; Emission: 702 nm; Laser: Violet Laser
