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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

The T49-550 monoclonal antibody recognizes the human Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), which is also known as Aromatic Hydrocarbon Receptor, and cross-reacts with the mouse AhR. AhR is a member of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors (Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 76, bHLHe76). AhR can bind to a variety of endogenous and exogenous ligands including tryptophan metabolites, bacterial pigments, plant flavonoids, synthetic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or dioxin-like compounds. Upon ligand binding, cytoplasmic AhR undergoes conformational changes and translocates into the nucleus to induce gene transcription. AhR is widely expressed in mammalian tissues with the highest expression levels in the liver and lung. A number of studies suggest that AhR regulates inflammation mainly by attenuating the production of inflammatory cytokines by dendritic cells and macrophages. In addition, AhR can regulate the expansion or effector functions of Th17 cells, IL-10-secreting regulatory T (Tr1) cells, and subsets of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) and innate lymphoid cells (ILC), keratinocytes, and Langerhans cells.
