CD172a (SIRP alpha) Monoclonal Antibody (15-414), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This 15-414 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD172a, also known as signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRP alpha). This cell surface glycoprotein consists of three Ig-like extracellular domains and two cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). The ITIM domains have been demonstrated to recruit and bind the Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2. CD172a is expressed on monocytes, granulocytes, dendritic cells, and CD34+CD38- hematopoietic progenitor cells but not on T and B lymphocytes. Moreover, neurons have also been shown to express CD172. The integrin-associated protein CD47 is the extracellular ligand for CD172a. Studies show that CD172a is involved in dendritic cell-mediated T cell activation, neutrophil migration, and phagocytosis. Applications Reported: This 15-414 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 15-414 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.125 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. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 can be used in place of PE-Cy5, PE-Cy5.5 or PerCP-Cy5.5. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm).
