EMR2 is a member of the epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane (EGF-TM7) family of proteins, which is closely related to CD97. EMR2, also known as CD312, is predominantly expressed on myeloid dendritic cells, monocytes and tissue macrophages. Various isoforms of EMR2 have been documented. The ligand for the largest isoform of EMR2 has recently been identified as chrondroitin sulfate, which binds to the fourth EGF-like module of EMR2.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: Neat; 10ul labels 10e6 cells in 100ul
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Hybridoma:
Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.
