Siglec-1 (CD169) Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 510, Clone: 7-239, BD Optibuild™

Beschreibung

The 7-239 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 1 (Siglec-1), which is also known as Sialoadhesin (SN), or CD169. Siglec-1 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Siglec family within the Ig superfamily. This adhesion molecule especiallybinds to glycolipids and glycoproteins with terminal α-2 sialyl residues.Siglec-1 is expressed by macrophages and dendritic cells and serves as a cellular interaction molecule. Its expression can be upregulated by cells in response to type II collagen, or to cytokines including interferons, and tumor necrosis factor. Siglec-1 plays roles in endocytosis, hematopoiesis, and leucocyte migration. It mediates macrophage binding to various cell types including developing and mature leucocytes. Siglec-1 that is expressed by dendritic cells can also bind HIV-1 and may mediate viral transfer to bystander CD4+ T cells. Several Siglec-1 counter-receptors have been described including CD43, CD206, and CD227 which are expressed by T cells, macrophages, or breast cancer cells, respectively. The 7-239 antibody reportedly blocks Siglec-1 functions in some cellular assay systems.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV510 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 405nm and Em Max at 510nm, BD Horizon BV510 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon V500 (525/50nm) filter set. BD Horizon BV510 conjugates are useful for the detection of dim markers off the violet laser. BV510 is a polymer-based dye that is brighter than BD Horizon V500. Due to similar excitation and emission properties, BD Horizon BV510 and BD Horizon V500 cannot be used simultaneously.
