For flow cytometry, dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:50. Before use in biological assays, the product must be filter sterilized and depending on the concentration to be used dialyzed against culture medium to remove the sodium azide added. Please inquire for availability of azide free solutions.

Nagai, Shimazu, Ogata, Akashi, Sudo, Yamasaki, Hayashi, Iwakura, Kimoto, Miyake: "Requirement for MD-1 in cell surface expression of RP105/CD180 and B-cell responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide." in: Blood, Vol. 99, Issue 5, pp. 1699-705, (2002) (PubMed).
The monoclonal antibody MD113 reacts with mouse MD-1. MD-1 (22-25 kD) is an extracellular protein associated with the extracellular domain of RP105. The latter is a type 1 transmembrane protein with leucine-rich repeats. RP105 is similar to Drosophila Toll. MD-1 associated with RP105 (similar to TLR4/MD-2) appears to be an essential molecule that helps RP105 on B-cells to signal to LPS. The MD113 antibody is antagonistic in LPS-induced B-cell proliferation and B7.2 up-regulation.
