A_MECA-79_PURE_PNAd_IHCF_090718
C57BL/6 mouse frozen lymph node section was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde(PFA) for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with 5% FBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then the section was stained with 10 µg/ml of PNAd (clone MECA-79) purified, 5 µg/ml of CD45R/B220 (clone RA3-6B2) Alexa Fluor® 647 (green) overnight at 4°C, followed by 5 µg/ml of anti-rat IgM (clone MRM-47) Alexa Fluor® 594 (red) for 2 hours at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The image was captured with a 10X objective.

    Human paraffin-embedded tonsil tissue slices were prepared with a standard protocol of deparaffination and rehydration. Antigen retrieval was done with Tris-Buffered Saline 1X (1.0M, pH7.4) at 95°C for 40 minutes. Tissue was washed with PBS/ 0.05% Tween20 twice for five minutes and blocked with 5% FBS and 0.2% gelatin for 30 minutes. Then, the tissue was stained with 10 µg/ml of purified anti-mouse/human PNAd antibody (clone MECA-79) at 4°C overnight. On the next day, the tissue was washed twice with PBS and stained with 2 µg/ml of biotin conjugated mouse anti-rat IgM secondary antibody for one hour at room temperature. After the incubation, the tissue was washed twice with PBS for five minutes and stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Streptavidin (green) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The image was captured with a 10X objective.

Description

MECA-79 recognizes a carbohydrate epitope shared with a group of sulfation decorated sialomucins, including sulfated ligands for CD62L (CD34, GlyCAM-1, Sgp200, and a subset of MAdCAM-1). This set antigens has been referred to as peripheral node addressin (PNAd) with the molecular mass 50-250 kD. It has been identified that GlcNAc-6-SO4 sulfation contributes to MECA-79 binding and the core 1 β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase is required for the generation of the MECA-79 epitope. MECA-79 is expressed on high endothelial venules (HEV) of lymphoid tissues, chronic inflamed tissues and rheumatoid synovia. The interaction of PNAd with CD62L receptor is involved in tethering and rolling of lymphocytes along HEV in lymphoid tissues. MECA-79 antibody reacts with mouse, human and many other species PNAd and blocks L-selectin-dependent lymphocyte adhesion in vitro and in vivo.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunohistochemical staining on frozen tissue sections. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 2.5 - 10 µg/ml is suggested. For immunohistochemical staining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, the suggested use of this reagent is 5.0 - 10 µg/ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: in vitro and in vivo blocking1-4 of cell adhesion, immunohistochemical staining1,2,6 of acetone-fixed frozen sections and 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, flow cytometry10,11, immunoprecipitation3,5, and Western blotting6,11.
