Staining of human DR5-transfected cells with 0.5 µg of Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control Purified (cat. 14-4714) (open histogram) or 0.5 µg of Anti-Human CD262 (DR5) Purified (filled histogram) followed by Anti-Mouse IgG Biotin (cat. 13-4013) and Streptavidin PE (cat. 12-4317). Total viable cells were used for analysis.
Flow Cytometry Product Notes: Test Sizes: To accommodate multicolor flow cytometry, eBioscience is in the process of reducing test size volumes from 20 µL to 5 µL. Please check your antibody vial for the recommended test size. Fluorochrome Replacements: eBioscience is in the process of replacing all Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated products with eFluor® 660 conjugated products.
Description
The DJR2-4 monoclonal antibody reacts with human DR5, also known as TRAIL-R2, Apo2, TRICK2 and KILLER. DR5 binds to TRAIL, activates NF-κB, and induces TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. DR5 is expressed broadly by normal tissues as well as several tumor cells.
Applications Reported
The DJR2-4 (a.k.a. 7-8) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested
The DJR2-4 (a.k.a. 7-8) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of human MOLT-4 cell line and human DR5-transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 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 105 to 108 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
