| Description | Background information Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that preferentially bind phosphatidylserine (PS). Under normal physiologic conditions, PS is predominantly located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Upon initiation of apoptosis, PS loses its Background information Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that preferentially bind phosphatidylserine (PS). Under normal physiologic conditions, PS is predominantly located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Upon initiation of apoptosis, PS loses its asymmetric distribution across the phospholipid bilayer and is translocated to the extracellular membrane leaflet marking cells as targets of phagocytosis. Once on the outer surface of the membrane, PS can be detected by fluorescently labeled Annexin V in a calcium-dependent manner.In early-stage apoptosis, the plasma membrane excludes viability dyes such as propidium iodide (PI), 7-AAD. These cells will stain with Annexin V but not a viability dye, thus distinguishing cells in early apoptosis. However, in late stage apoptosis, the cell membrane loses integrity thereby allowing Annexin V to also access PS in the interior of the cell. A viability dye can be used to resolve these late-stage apoptotic and necrotic cells (Annexin V, viability dye-positive) from the early-stage apoptotic cells (Annexin V positive, viability dye-negative).We offer recombinant Annexin V conjugated to a numerous fluorophores, as well as an Annexin V biotin conjugate which can be detected with fluorophore-labeled streptavidin. By binding to PS, fluorophores labeled Annexin V can be used to detect and quantify apoptotic cells via flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. The excitation and emission maxima of the Annexin V conjugates are summarized in the following table.Cat.No.Ex/Em (nm)Formatrp226056NABiotinrp225999401/422AF405rp226057490/525AF488rp226060650/668AF647rp226002681/704AF680rp226003752/776AF750rp226053498/517FITCrp226004410/455Pacific Bluerp226006647/665Cy5rp226054650/660APCrp226055565/575PErp226058565/670PE-Cy5rp226059565/774PE-Cy7Precautions1. Please try to avoid light when using to slow down the quenching of fluorescence.2. Propidium Iodide Solution is toxigenic and mutagenic; handle with care.3. Due to the calcium dependence of the Annexin V:PS interaction, it is critical to avoid buffers containing EDTA or other calcium chelators during Annexin V experiments.Instruction for use1. Dilute 10X Binding Buffer (A1372288) to 1X using distilled water (1 mL 10X Binding Buffer + 9 mL ddH2O).2. Wash cells twice with cold PBS and then resuspend the desired amounts of cells in Annexin V Binding Buffer at a concentration of 1.0-5.0 x 106 cells/mL.3. Add 5 µL of Annexin V-AF405 to 100 µL of the cell suspension. Stain with a viability dye, such as PI (P1373641; P1372285), 7-AAD (A1372406), or DAPI (D1372407) dyes, if desired.4. Gently vortex the cells and incubate for 10 min at RT (25°C) in the dark.5. Add 100 µL of 1X Binding Buffer to each assay. Analyze by flow cytometry within 1 hr...

Producing DNase I by recombinant means in an organism with much lower levels of endogenous RNase greatly facilitates purification of an enzyme with undetectable levels of RNase. The processes involved in the production and isolation of recombinant DNase I are completely devoid of animal based components which eliminates the possibility of introducing animal derived pathogens into bioprocessing procedures.Animal Free/AF.

Optimally activated upon binding of clustered antigen-IgG complexes displayed on cell surfaces, triggers lysis of antibody-coated cells, a process known as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Does not bind free monomeric IgG, thus avoiding inappropriate effector cell activation in the absence of antigenic trigger (By similarity).Mediates IgG effector functions on natural killer (NK) cells. Binds antigen-IgG complexes generated upon infection and triggers NK cell-dependent cytokine production and degranulation to limit viral load and propagation (By similarity).Fc-binding subunit that associates with FCER1G adapter to form functional signaling complexes. Following the engagement of antigen-IgG complexes, triggers phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing adapter with subsequent activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling and sustained elevation of intracellular calcium that ultimately drive NK cell activation (By similarity).Mediates enhanced ADCC in response to afucosylated IgGs (By similarity)...

It is a standard Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:CD4, also known as L3T4, T4, and W3/25, is an approximately 55 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed predominantly on thymocytes and a subset of mature T lymphocytes. It is a standard phenotype marker for the identification of T cell populations. Mature feline CD4 consists of a 388 amino acid (aa) extracellular region containing four immunoglobulin-like domains, a 22 aa transmembrane segment, and a 40 aa cytoplasmic domain. Within the ECD, feline CD4 shares 70%, 58%, 50%, and 48% aa sequence identity with canine, human, mouse and rat CD4, respectively. CD4 is expressed along with CD8 on double positive T cells during their development in the thymus. Either CD4 or CD8 expression is then lost, giving rise to single positive (SP) CD4+ or CD8+ mature T cells. CD4+ SP cells, also known as T helper cells, further differentiate into multiple subsets of CD4+ cells including Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, and Treg cells which regulate humoral and cellular immunity. CD4 is reexpressed on circulating CD8+ T cells upon activation and contributes to their cytotoxic effector activity. In human, CD4 is additionally expressed on macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, NK cells, and neurons and glial cells in the brain. Similar CD4 distribution between species cannot be assumed as demonstrated by its presence on macrophages in human and rat but not in mouse. CD4 binds directly to MHC class II molecules on antigen presenting cells. This interaction contributes to the formation of the immunological synapse which is focused around the TCR-MHC class II-antigenic peptide interaction. Palmitoylation of two cysteine residues in the cytoplasmic tail of CD4 promotes the localization of CD4 in lipid rafts and its ability to augment TCR signaling via activation of the tyrosine kinase Lck. CD4 also functions as a chemotactic receptor for IL-16 and, in human, as a coreceptor for the gp120 surface glycoprotein of HIV-1...
