Mouse anti Myeloperoxidase (MPO)

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a glycoprotein present in the azurophil (primary) granules of myeloid cells, which appears in the myeloblast stage of myeloid cell differentiation. MPO is he most common functional protein of myeloid cells and is involved in the inflammatory response. It helps to kill microbes by breaking down peroxide in the presence of halide ions, contributing to the bactericidal function of granulocytes. The primary translation product of MPO undergoes glycosylation with production of the 89 kDa heme-free apopro-MPO form followed by incorporation of heme and conversion into the enzymatically active pro-MPO form. Subsequently, pro-MPO becomes targeted to azurophil granules where final processing occurs to produce mature dimeric MPO consisting of the 59-64 kDa MPO ?-chain and the 14 kDa MPO ?-chain. The MPO-C2 mAb (clone 8E6) recognizes virtually all myelomonocytic cells including AML blasts. The MPO-C2 mAb permits the identification and enumeration of myeloid cells in normal and malignant Human blood and bone marrow using flow cytometry. Results must be put within the context of other diagnostic tests as well as the clinical history of the patient by a certified professional before final interpretation. Analyses performed with this antibody should be paralleled by positive and negative controls. If unexpected results are obtained which cannot be attributed to differences in laboratory procedures, please contact us.

Permeabilization and Staining Procedure - In combination with our Permeabilization Kit FIX,PERM® (Cat. No. GAS-002) intracellular MPO can be easily stained in cell suspensions. - For each sample to be analyzed add 50 µL of whole blood, bone marrow or mononuclear cell suspension in a 5 mL tube - Add 100 µL of Reagent A (Fixation Medium, stored and used at room temperature) - Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature - Add 5 mL phosphate buffered saline and centrifµge cells for 5 minutes at 300 g - Remove supernatant and add to cell pellet 100 µL Reagent B (Permeabilization Medium) and 20 µL of the MPO-C2 monoclonal antibody conjµgate - Vortex at low speed for 1-2 seconds - Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature - Wash cells with phosphate buffered saline as described above - Remove supernatant and resuspend cells in sheath fluid for immediate analysis or resuspend cells in 0.5 mL 1.0 % formaldehyde and store them at 2-8°C in the dark. Analyze fixed cells within 24 hours.

For professional users only. This reagent contains sodium azide. To avoid the development of hazardous conditions, reagents containing azide should be diluted in running water prior to be discarded. Similar to the work with other biological products, proper handling procedures are recommended.
