Product Information

Description

The rabbit polyclonal antibody BCMA specifically binds to the scFv region of a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) specific mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb, clone C11D5.3). B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a protein that has been reported to be selectively expressed by B-lineage cells including multiple myeloma cells and plasma cells. The scFv region of C11D5.3 has been used to develop BCMA-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells utilized in clinical trials.

Preparation and Storage

Shipped at 2-8°C. Store at 2-8°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycle.

The polyclonal antibody was purified by Protein A.

Application Notes

Application

Product Notices

1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

2. 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.

FACS Protocol

1. Harvest the cells and wash the cells once by FACS buffer (PBS containing 2% of BSA).

2. Count the cells number and the viability, aliquot up to 2×10⁵ live cells into each tube. (Note: the cell viability must be ≥ 95%.)

3. Wash the cells once by FACS buffer.

4. Resuspend cells in 100 mL of diluted Rabbit Anti-Mouse C11D5.3 scFv Polyclonal Antibody, Biotin (Cat. No. 500513, 1:100 diluted in FACS buffer) for 30 min at 4°C.

5. Wash the cells once by FACS buffer.

6. Resuspend cells in 100 mL of diluted Streptavidin PE (Cat. No. 700032, 1:200 diluted in FACS buffer) for 30 min at 4°C.

7. Wash the cells 3 times by FACS buffer and resuspend the cells in 200 mL PBS per sample.

8. Transfer the cells into flow tube and analyze on Flow Cytometer. Acquisition of >10, 000 events is performed.
