NS0-derived, recombinant human CD200 R1 (rhCD200 R1, aa1-266: Accession NP_620161). Species sequence homology: mouse, rat (56%).
CD200 R1, also known as OX-2 receptor, is one of four CD200 R-related proteins within the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD200 R1 is a type I transmembrane protein with a PTB-signaling motif in its cytoplasmic domain. Engagement of CD200 R1 by CD200 elicits an inhibitory signal in mast cells, basophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Alternate splicing of the human CD200 R1 mRNA generates four isoforms, two of which are truncated in the Ig-C2 domain and are likely secreted. Within the ECD, human CD200 R1 shares 56% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat CD200 R1. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Myeloma with B cells from Balb/c mice. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for at least 12 months. 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. Freezing Allophycocyanin conjugates will result in a substantial loss of enzymatic activity.
