Mouse IgD Monoclonal Antibody (11-26c (11-26)), NovaFluor™ Violet 745, eBioscience™

Product Specific Information

Description
The 11-26c monoclonal antibody reacts with the delta heavy chain of mouse IgD. It does not react with other classes of mouse immunoglobulin including IgA, IgG or IgM. IgD is expressed by peripheral mature B cells. 11-26c does not activate B cells.

This product contains 1 vial of NovaFluor conjugate and 1 vial of CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer.

Applications Tested
This 11-26c (11-26) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.4 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. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Master Mixes
• Master mixes of NFs should be made at 2-8 °C and may be made up to 4 hours ahead of time.
• We do not recommend storing master mixes containing NovaFluor conjugates overnight or longer.

Whole Blood Compatibility
• When utilizing whole blood (as opposed to density-gradient-purified PBMC), we recommend lysing red blood cells in bulk prior to staining with NovaFluor conjugates.
• See the Bulk Lysis of Human Whole Blood protocol here.
• Staining of whole blood with NovaFluor conjugates followed by lysis of red blood cells may result in higher-than-expected background staining.

Viability Dye Compatibility
• NovaFluor dyes are not compatible with DNA intercalcating dyes such as propidium iodide, 7-actinomycin D (7-AAD) and DAPI. Invitrogen LIVE/DEAD Fixable Dead Cell stains are recommended for use with NovaFluor dyes.

CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer
• This NovaFluor conjugate comes with CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer (for 25 µg or 25 test products, Cat. No. C001T02F01; for 100 µg or 100 test, Cat. No. C001T03F01), essential for optimal staining.
• Use CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer in all experiments with NovaFluor conjugates.
• Add 5 μL per sample to antibody cocktails/master mixes (regardless of how many Novafluor-conjugated antibodies are present) before combining with cells.
• CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer is compatible with either Super Bright Complete Blocking Buffer or Brilliant Stain Buffer and can be used in antibody cocktails/master mixes with those reagents.
• For single-color controls, use 5 μL of CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer per 100 μL of cell sample (10^3 to 10^8 cells).
• CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer may also be used with non-NovaFluor dyes to reduce non-specific binding of monocytes to tandem cyanine-based dyes.

NovaFluor conjugates are based on Phiton technology utilizing novel fluorophore-containing nucleic acid dye structures that allow for engineered fluorescent signatures with consideration for spillover and spread impacts. Learn more

Target Information

This type I transmembrane protein is co-expressed on the surface of mature naive B cells with membrane IgM. IgD also exists as a soluble form in blood serum. Studies have demonstrated that IgD associates with the B cell receptor and participates in mediating signal transduction upon antigen binding.
