Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
The HIP1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD42b. CD42b is also known as the Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain that is encoded by the GP1BA gene. CD42b is disulfide bonded to CD42c to form a 170 kDa heterodimer, GPIb. GPIb forms a noncovalent complex with CD42a and CD42d (CD42 complex) that is expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. The CD42 complex serves as the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) surface receptor involved in the adhesion of platelets to the subendothelium of damaged vascular walls. HIP1 inhibits the ristocetin-dependent binding of vWF to platelets and partially inhibits collagen-induced aggregation.
