CD286 (TLR6) Mouse anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 650, Clone: C1N2, BD Optibuild™

Description

The C1N2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the Toll-like receptor 6 (TLR6), which is also known as CD286. CD286 belongs to the mammalian toll-like family of pattern recognition receptors (TLR) that participate in inducing innate immune responses to microbial pathogens. CD286 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein comprised of an extracellular domain with a large number of leucine?rich repeats (LRRs) and a cytoplasmic region with a signaling Toll/Interleukin-1 Receptor (TIR) domain. TLR6 is differentially expressed on the surface and intracellular compartments, including endolysosomes, of pre-B cells as well as immature or mature B cells. It is likewise expressed by monocytes, macrophages, or plasmacytoid, CD4+, or CD8+ dendritic cells. In association with TLR2 (CD282), CD286 recognizes microbial diacylated lipopeptides, lipoteichoic acid, and zymosan. The CD282/CD286 (TLR2/TLR60 heterodimer then transduces signaling responses leading to the production of proinflammatory cytokines by responding cells.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 650nm. BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination. BV650 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 650 nm. Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors. BV650 will have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon™ BV711 detector.
