Invitrogen™ CD85j (ILT2) Monoclonal Antibody (HP-F1), eFluor™ 450, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The monoclonal antibody HP-F1 recognizes CD85j, also known as ILT2, LILRB1, and LIR1. CD85j is a member of the ILT/LIR/MIR family. CD85j is a single transmembrane glycoprotein with a long cytoplasmic domain containing 4 ITIMs which signal through interactions with SHP-1. Expression is found on myeloid cells (monocytes and dendritic cells) and some lymphoid cells including, subsets of NK, T and B cells. Expression has been correlated with leukemias such as ALL and CLL. Expression on CD8+ cells correlates with effector cell function and plays an important role in viral infections, including HIV, Ebstein Barr and CMV. The ligands for CD85j are MHC Class I molecules such as HLA-G, A, F, B27, E and F. The monoclonal antibody HP-F1 has been shown to reduce the amount of CD16- dependent cytolytic activity of functional NK cells. Applications Reported: This HP-F1 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This HP-F1 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This may be used at 5uL (0.25ug) per test. A test is defined as the amount (ug) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100uL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. eFluor 450 is an alternative to Pacific Blue. eFluor 450 emits at 446 nm and is excited with the violet laser line (405 nm).Excitation: 405 nm; Emission: 445 nm; Laser: Violet Laser
