This product recognizes human CD200R, a cell surface glycoprotein (also known as OX2R). In humans CD200R is expressed primarily by peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils but also by other leucocytes including T-lymphocytes and mast cells, see Wright, G.J. et al. for details. Studies suggest that CD200-CD200R interaction may be involved in the control of myeloid cellular function.
Levels of expression on resting perispheral blood cells are relatively low.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
