    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #95940. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #95940

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    BST2 (E4N3W) XP® Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total BST2 protein. This clone shows a preference for the BST2 dimer by western blot.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with human BST2 recombinant protein.

    Background

    BST2 (CD317, Tetherin, HM1.24) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein functioning as a major mediator of the innate immune defense against the dissemination of enveloped viruses by tethering virion on the cell surface (1). BST2 has an N-terminal cytoplasmic tail for endocytosis and cytoskeletal signaling, a transmembrane domain, an extracellular domain containing putative disulfide bonds and coiled-coil region for homodimer formation, and a C-terminal GPI domain for membrane anchoring (2,3). Both the transmembrane domain and the GPI domain can insert either into the cell membrane or the viral envelope membrane and hold them together to prevent viral release. Some viruses encode proteins, such as HIV-1 and Vpu, respectively, to act as antagonists to counteract BST2 (2,3). BST2 is overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer, and multiple myeloma (4-7). BST2 monoclonal antibody targeting myeloma or lung cancer cells induces cellular cytotoxicity and cell death (ADCC, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity). Thus, BST2 serves as a potential target for tumor immunotherapy.
