Description

Description: This 26F8 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD317 (also known as BST2 and tetherin). CD317 is a 30-36-kDa type II transmembrane protein expressed on B cells and bone marrow stromal cells. Although reports have indicated that CD317 mRNA is detectable in activated T cells, protein expression in freshly isolated primary T cells and macrophages is undetectable. Moreover, certain T cell lines, such as Jurkat, do not express detectable levels of CD317 protein. However, CD317 expression can be induced in many cell types (e.g., T and B cells, 293T, and HeLa) by IFNalpha treatment. CD317 has been associated with pre-B cell growth and the terminal differentiation of plasma B cells. More recently, this molecule has been reported to prevent HIV-1 virion release from the surface of infected cells, leading to reuptake and degradation of the virus. This activity is inhibited by the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu. CD317 has been identified as the ligand for the ILT7 receptor. Applications Reported: This 26F8 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 26F8 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.25 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. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered. BST2, also known as CD317, HM1.24 antigen, DAMP-2 and recently designated tetherin, is an integral membrane protein with a novel topology. The specific function of the BST2, encoded by the bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 gene, is undetermined; however, it may play a role in pre-B-cell growth, rheumatoid arthritis, and in antiretroviral defense, that blocks release of retrovirus from the cell surface. BST2 is highly expressed during B-cell development, from pro-B precursors to plasma cells, T-cells, monocytes, NK cells and DCs (at protein level).
