Application Data
(Published clone specific image: Flow cytometric analysis of AM from NO2-exposed and control rats. Rats were exposed to NO2 for the indicated times and BAL cells were stained with antibodies to ED7, ED9, RM-4, and OX-6. To overcome autofluorescence signals, primary antibodies were detected using a biotin-PE/streptavidin-anti-streptavidin enhancing system and labeling of AM was analyzed by flow cytometry following gating by help of forward and sideward scatter properties. Shown are representative results of at least six animals per group.From: Garn H, Siese A, Stumpf S, Wensing A, Renz H, Gemsa D.

Application Data
(Published clone specific image: Flow cytometric analysis of ED7 and ED9 expression of AM following magnetic bead separation. AM of 3 days NO2-exposed rats were separated due to their expression of the cell surface molecule ED7 using magnetic bead separation. Susbsequently, ED7 (left) and ED9 (right) expression was analyzed in unseparated AM (A), ED7-positive AM (B), and ED7-negative AM (C). Numbers right of each histogram represent the mean fluorescence of the respective cell population. The figure clearly demonstrates that ED7-positive AM show a lower ED9 expression compared to ED7-negative AM.

What cell types is rat CD172a (SIRPα) a marker for in immunology studies?
CD172a is a marker for myeloid lineage cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and bone marrow progenitors. Additionally, it is expressed on neurons in the central nervous system and retina. CD172a serves as a key "don't eat me" signal when complexed with CD47 on cell surfaces.
Can this mouse anti-rat CD172a antibody be used in flow cytometry?
Yes, this monoclonal antibody is optimized for flow cytometry applications. It binds rat CD172a with high specificity, enabling researchers to identify and sort CD172a-positive myeloid populations, study myeloid cell activation states, and analyze immune cell composition in rat models of inflammation and disease.
Is CD172a expression associated with macrophages or dendritic cells?
Yes, CD172a is highly expressed on both macrophages and dendritic cells, as well as other myeloid-derived cells. The CD172a-CD47 interaction regulates macrophage phagocytosis, with high CD172a expression on these cells being essential for immune surveillance and recognition of "altered" vs. "self" cells in inflammatory contexts.
Does this antibody work for immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence?
Yes, this antibody is validated for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) applications. It enables tissue-level visualization of CD172a-expressing immune cells in rat organs, facilitating studies of myeloid cell infiltration, tissue-resident macrophage distribution, and immune cell positioning in inflammatory pathology.
How does CD172a function in cell–cell signaling or immune regulation?
CD172a functions as an inhibitory signal receptor that, upon binding CD47 on target cells, suppresses macrophage phagocytosis and pro-inflammatory responses. This CD172a-CD47 "don't eat me" axis is crucial for immune regulation, and CD172a-blocking antibodies enhance anti-tumor immunity by preventing immune evasion.
Is mouse anti-rat CD172a suitable for studying inflammation or myeloid cell profiling?
Absolutely, CD172a is a standard marker for myeloid cell profiling, and blocking CD172a-CD47 interactions enhances inflammatory responses and anti-tumor immunity. This antibody enables a comprehensive assessment of myeloid cell expansion, activation status, and inflammatory infiltration in rat inflammation, infection, and cancer models.
