FlowCellect™ Mouse Breg Identification Kit
Description:
FlowCellect™ Mouse Breg Identification Kit
Trade Name:
FlowCellect
Qty/Pk:
25 Tests / Kit
Product Overview:
Millipore’s FlowCellect™ Mouse Breg Identification Kit includes three directly conjugated antibodies: Anti-Mouse CD5-APC, Anti-Mouse CD19-FITC, and Anti-Mouse CD1d-PE, along with optimized assay buffers and a blocking antibody to provide researchers the ability to phenotypically distinguish cell types.
Antibodies against CD5 and CD19 are provided in the kit to phenotype cells by their surface marker expression. CD5 is used to identify B-cell subsets, while CD19 is a mature B-cell marker. CD1d is used to phenotypically identify mouse regulatory B cells, which can serve useful utility in identifying the presence of this B cell subset during certain disease models. Purified Anti-CD16/32 is included for blocking non-specific binding of immunoglobulin to the Fc receptors.
All FlowCellect kits are optimized on guava® bench top flow cytometers. FlowCellect kits can be used on any flow cytometer following the same protocol providing researchers a reliable and fully validated solution to study and identify regulatory B cells right in the comfort of their own lab. All three antibodies provided in the kit are carefully titrated and optimized together to ensure maximal performance when run in multiplex, alleviating the need for any additional optimization.

Background Information:
Regulatory B cells are a unique subset of small white blood cells that are recognized as a critical component in the immune system. Also known as “Bregs”, the primary function of regulatory B cells are to prevent or dampen overzealous immune responses. This regulatory function appears to be directly mediated by the production of IL-10 (interleukin-10), a potent cytokine which allows the ability of B cells to interact with pathogenic T cells to inhibit harmful immune responses. Bregs have been identified in numerous experimental models such as inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer, indicating that Breg-mediated suppression is important for maintaining peripheral tolerance. IL-10 production by B cells may suppress the B cell and T cell-mediated immune responses and inflammation that are necessary to efficiently clear pathogens. Understanding Bregs relevance to autoimmune diseases and cancer can assist in the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
