CD66b Mouse anti-Human, BB515, Clone: G10F5, BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The G10F5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD66b, also known as Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 8 (CEACAM8). CD66b is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linked protein with a molecular weight of 100 kDa expressed on granulocytes. This molecule was previously clustered as CD67 in the Fourth Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigen (HLDA) Workshop and renamed CD66b in the Fifth HLDA Workshop. CD66b is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-like glycoprotein family present on granulocytes and referred to as non-specific crossreacting antigens (NCA). Granulocyte activation induced with soluble stimulators (calcium ionophore, phorbol myristate acetate, N-formylmethionyl- leucyl-phenylalanine) results in release and increased expression of NCA. Findings suggest that these molecules may play a role in phagocytosis, chemotaxis and adherence. The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BB515 which was developed exclusively by BD Biosciences. With an excitation max of 490nm and an emission max of 515nm, BD Horizon BB515 can be excited by the 488nm laser and detected in a standard FITC set (eg, 530/30-nm filter). This dye provides a much brighter alternative to FITC with less spillover into the PE detector.
