Flow cytometric analysis of human Delta-Like Protein 4 on DLL4-transfected CHO cells. Human DLL4-transfected Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were stained with either PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554680; dotted line histogram) or PE Mouse Anti-Human Delta-Like Protein 4 antibody (Cat. No. 564412; solid line histogram). Fluorescence histograms showing the expression of Delta-Like Protein 4 (or Ig Isotype Control staining) were generated for gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable CHO cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer System.

Product Notices

Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
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.

Antibody Details

MHD4-46

The MHD4-46 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Delta-Like Protein 4 which is also known as Delta4, DLL4, and DL4. Delta-Like Protein 4 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein which belongs to the Delta/Serrate/Jagged Family of Notch receptor ligands. The Notch family of transmembrane receptors and their ligands play key roles in various developmental and postnatal processes by controlling cell-fate decisions. Delta-Like Protein 4 is expressed by vascular endothelial cells within certain normal tissues and tumors. It signals through Notch1 and Notch 4 Receptors and plays a critical role in vascular development and homeostasis. Delta-Like Protein 4 expression is upregulated in response to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and regulates endothelial cell proliferation during vascular sprouting. Delta-Like Protein 4 is also expressed by activated human monocytes and dendritic cells that have been stimulated with proinflammatory activators such as lipopolysaccharide. Recent evidence suggests that Delta-Like Protein 4 may contribute to the T cell potential of CD34+ cells and to the growth of various tumors, and promote tumor cell infiltration.

During product development, the specificity of the purified MHD4-46 antibody (Cat. No. 564589) was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections of human placenta. Vascular endothelial cells were specifically stained (data not shown).

Format Details

R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.

Format: PE

Excitation Source: Yellow-Green 561 nm
