Sodium azide is an extremely toxic and dangerous compound particularly when combined with acids or metals. Each lot is tested by flow cytometry using human red blood cells. Solutions containing sodium azide should be disposed of properly. This testing was performed using 15 µl of antibody per 10 µl whole blood with 75 µl PBS to achieve a total staining volume of 100 µl. Stabilizer: A highly purified grade of BSA has been added as a stabilizing Because conditions may vary, it is suggested that each investigator agent. determine the optimal amount of antibody to be used for each application.

Abstract: The role of C5a receptors (C5aR1 and C5L2) in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is uncertain. We generated an in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation with human proximal tubule epithelial cells to mimic some IRI events. C5aR1, membrane attack complex (MAC) and factor H (FH) deposits were evaluated with immunofluorescence. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction evaluated the expression of C5aR1, C5L2 genes as well as genes related to tubular injury, inflammation, and profibrotic pathways. Additionally, C5aR1 and C5L2 deposits were evaluated in kidney graft biopsies (KB) from transplant patients with delayed graft function (DGF, n = 12) and compared with Citation: Arias-Cabrales, C.; a control group (n = 8). We observed higher immunofluorescence expression of C5aR1, MAC and FH Rodriguez-Garcia, E.; Gimeno, J.; as higher expression of genes related to tubular injury, inflammatory and profibrotic pathways and Benito, D.; Pérez-Sáez, M.J.; of C5aR1 in the hypoxic cells; whereas, C5L2 gene expression was unaffected by the hypoxic stimulus.

  • CD Markers Are Routinely Used for the Immunophenotyping of Cells
    ptglab.com 1 CD MARKER ANTIBODIES www.ptglab.com Introduction The cluster of differentiation (abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules. So-called CD markers are routinely used for the immunophenotyping of cells. Despite this use, they are not limited to roles in the immune system and perform a variety of roles in cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, blood clotting, gamete fertilization, amino acid transport and apoptosis, among many others. As such, Proteintech’s mini catalog featuring its antibodies targeting CD markers is applicable to a wide range of research disciplines.

CD59 binds to complement components C8 and C9 and prevents the polymerization of C9, was published under the designations “HRF (homologous which is required for the formation of the membrane attack restriction factor)” and “C8bp (C8 binding protein),” complex (MAC).

CD59 is inserted into the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. A defect of this anchor binding capacity for C8. The name “HRF” points to a species causes lack of this protein from the cell membrane, which leads to incompatibility of this “factor” that provides protection from an enhanced sensitivity towards complement attack. Patients with complement attack more effectively in a homologous (e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) harbor a varying human erythrocytes as a target of human complement) than in percentage of red blood cell clones with a defect in GPI-anchored proteins, including CD59.

ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B cell neoplasia characterized by clonal plasma cell (PC) proliferation. Minimal residual disease monitoring by multi-parameter flow cytometry is a powerful tool for predicting treatment efficacy and MM outcome. In this study, we compared CD antigens expression between normal and malignant plasma cells to identify new potential markers to discriminate normal from malignant plasma cells, new potential therapeutic targets for monoclonal-based treatments and new prognostic factors.
