    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® F(ab’)2 fragment lacks an Fc domain, and will not exhibit reactivity with human Fc receptors. This eliminates the need for Fc blocking and reduces false positives in assays containing human monocytes or other cells with high expression of Fc receptors.

    The F(ab')2 fragment is generated by enzymatic digestion of the full-length IgG clone coupled with chromatography to remove both the Fc fragment and the intact IgG. The F(ab’)2 fragment is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Whitlow/218 Linker F(ab')2 fragment (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) recognizes exogenously expressed levels of scFv-based CARs containing a Whitlow/218 linker. This F(ab')2 fragment contains no Fc domain and will not exhibit cross-reactivity with Fc receptors.

    Species Reactivity:

    All Species Expected

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues of the Whitlow/218 linker peptide.

    Background

    The Whitlow/218 peptide is a commonly used linker that connects the variable heavy (VH) domain and variable light (VL) domain of single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that utilize an extracellular domain scFv for target antigen recognition. The Whitlow/218 linker affords the scFv with enhanced resistance to proteolysis and aggregation (1).

    Human Fc receptors exhibit strong cross-reactivity with rabbit IgG, and are expressed at high levels on cells of myeloid lineage (e.g., monocytes and myeloid-derived cell lines). Fluorescent anti-linker F(ab')2 fragment conjugates are ideal for use in flow cytometry assays on cells containing Fc receptors, and eliminate the need for an Fc blocking step prior to antibody incubation.

    Cell Signaling Technology employs strict quality control procedures to ensure that each conjugate provides optimal specificity and fluorescence.
