Product: CFTMBlue Anti-human CD52 Alternative names: CAMPATH-1. Cat. Ref: 52CFB-100T Reagent provided: 100 test (5μl/test) Description: Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human CD52 CFTMBlue is recommended for use in flow cytometry for identification of thymocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages. The conjugate is provided in liquid form in buffer containing an antibody stabilizer solution and 0,09% NaN3, pH 7.2. Clone: HI186 Isotype: IgG2b Fluorochrome: CF405M (Abs/Em Max: 408/450 nm) US patent application no. 12/607,915 Direct replacement for: Pacific Blue dye®, BD HorizonTM V450) Reactivity: React with CD52, also known as CAMPATH-1. It is expressed on thymocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages, but not on plasma cells, platelets or erythrocytes. This molecule is expressed on lymphoid malignancies at variable levels and on epithelial cells of the epididymis and seminal vesicles. Its functional role is not well known but reports indicate that CD52 is a good target for complement-mediated cell lysis and antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity. Antibodies to CD52 have been studied in lymphocyte depletion experiments. Specificity: HI186 reacts with the human CD52 antigen, also known as CAMPATH-1. The CD52 antigen is a remarkably small peptide that is heavily glycosylated, and attached to the cell surface membrane via a GPI link. The apparent molecular mass of the antigen on SDS-PAGE is 25-29 kD. CD52 is expressed at high density by lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, thymocytes and macrophages. It is expressed by most lymphoid derived malignancies, although expression on myeloma cells is variable. Storage: Store in the dark at 2-8 °C. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial. If unexpected staining is observed which cannot be explained by variations in laboratory procedures and a problem with the product is suspected, contact our Technical Services. (tech@immunostep.com). Application: It is recommended for use in flow cytometry. This reagent is effective for direct 6 immunofluorescence staining of human tissue for flow cytometric analysis using 5 μl/10 cells. Precautions: 1. The device is not intended for clinical use including diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of a disease state, and it must not be used in conjunction with patient records or treatment. 2. This product contains sodium azide (NaN3), a chemical highly toxic in pure form. At product concentrations, though not classified as hazardous, sodium azide may react with lead and copper plumbing to form highly explosive build-ups of metal azides. Upon disposal, flush with large volumes of water to prevent metal azide build-up in plumbing. Preparation: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Transfer 100 μL of anticoagulated (EDTA) blood to a 12 x 75 mm polystyrene test tube (106 cells). Add 5 μL of CD52 CF Blue and mix gently with a vortex mixer. The 5 μL is a guideline only; the optimal volume should be determined by the individual laboratory. The recommended negative control is a non-reactive CF Blue-conjugated antibody of the same isotype. Incubate in the dark at 4 °C for 30 minutes or at room temperature (20-25 °C) for 15 minutes. Add 1,5 mL of Lysing Solution to each sample and mix gently with a vortex mixer. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark. Centrifuge at 1000 x g for 5 minutes. Gently aspirate the supernatant and discard it leaving approximately 50 μL of fluid. Add 2 mL 0.01 mol/L PBS (It betters that it containing 2% bovine serum albumin) and resuspend the cells by using a vortex mixer. Centrifuge at 1000 x g for 5 minutes. Gently aspirate the supernatant and discard it leaving approximately 50 μL of fluid. Resuspend pellet in an appropriate fluid for flow cytometry, e.g. 0.3 mL PBS. The PBS should contain 1% paraformaldehyde (fixative) if samples are not analysed the same day. Revision Nº 2 Emission date: 2013-02-13 HT-0052-CFB-1 10. Analyse on a flow cytometer or store at 2-8 °C in the dark until analysis. Samples can be run up to 24 hours after lysis. Normal Peripheral Blood on a human donor Staining of normal human peripheral blood cells with AntiHuman CD52 CFBlue (Cat. 52CFB-100T). Cells in the Leukocytes gate were used for analysis. Cells were analyzed on a BD FACSAria™ II Flow Cytometer (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA), using Cell Quest acquisition software.
