    Product Notices

    1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
    2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
    3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
    4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
    5. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
    6. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

    MECA-32

    The MECA-32 antibody reacts with a dimer of 50-55–kDa subunits expressed on most or all endothelial cells in the embryonic and adult mouse, with the exception of cardiac and skeletal muscle and the brain. Normally in skeletal and cardiac muscle, MECA-32 antigen expression is limited to small arterioles and venules; however, under conditions of inflammation, it can be induced on previously non-expressing vessels in cardiac muscle. In the central nervous system (CNS), the panendothelial cell antigen expression is developmentally regulated. During embryonic development, the antigen is found on brain vasculature up to day 16 of gestation, after which it disappears. The cessation of MECA-32 antigen expression in the CNS may be associated with the establishment of the blood-brain barrier, which begins on day 16 of gestation. In the adult mouse,  inflammation in the CNS can lead to re-expression of the panendothelial cell antigen.

    Purified
    Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
