• Western blot: This antibody can be used at 0.1-0.2 μg/mL with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect Mouse SLAMF8 in WB. Using a DAB detection system, the detection limit for Mouse SLAMF8 is approximately 2 ng/lane under non-reducing conditions and 1 ng/lane under reducing conditions.
• Direct ELISA: This antibody can be used at 0.1-0.2 μg/mL with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect Mouse SLAMF8. The detection limit for Mouse SLAMF8 is approximately 0.00245 ng/well.
• Storage: This antibody can be stored at 2℃-8℃ for one month without detectable loss of activity. Antibody products are stable for twelve months from date of receipt when stored at -20℃ to -70℃. Preservative-Free.
  Sodium azide is recommended to avoid contamination (final concentration 0.05%-0.1%). It is toxic to cells and should be disposed of properly. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

SLAMF8 Antibody Background

The signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) family includes homophilic and heterophilic receptors that modulate both adaptive and innate immune responses. These receptors share a common ectodomain organization: a membrane-proximal immunoglobulin constant domain and a membrane-distal immunoglobulin variable domain that is responsible for ligand recognition. SLAM family of receptors is expressed by a wide range of immune cells. Through their cytoplasmic domain, SLAM family receptors associate with SLAM-associated protein (SAP)-related molecules, a group of cytoplasmic adaptors composed almost exclusively of an SRC homology 2 domain. SLAM family receptors, in association with SAP family adaptors, have crucial roles during normal immune reactions in innate and adaptive immune cells. Mouse SLAM family member 8, also known as B-lymphocyte activator macrophage expressed, BCM-like membrane protein, SLAMF8 and BLAME, is a single-pass type I membrane protein. It contains oneIg-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. SLAMF8 / BLAME is expressed in lymph node, spleen, thymus and bone marrow. It may play a role in B-lineage commitment and/or modulation of signaling through the B-cell receptor.
