Scientific Data

Cell Proliferation Induced by GM‑CSF and Neutralization by Mouse GM‑CSF R alpha Antibody. Recombinant Mouse GM-CSF (Catalog # 415-ML) stimulates proliferation in the DA3 mouse myeloma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse GM-CSF (0.1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concen-trations of Rat Anti-Mouse GM-CSF Ra Monoclonal Anti-body (Catalog # MAB6130). The ND50 is typically 0.02-0.12 µg/mL.

Detection of GM-CSF R alpha in J774A.1 Mouse Cell Line by Flow Cytometry. J774A.1 mouse reticulum cell sarcoma macrophage cell line was stained with Rat Anti-Mouse GM-CSF Ra Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6130, filled histo-gram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB006, open histo-gram), followed by Allophy-cocyanin-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0113).

GM‑CSF R alpha in J774A.1 Mouse Cell Line. GM-CSF Ra was detected in immersion fixed J774A.1 mouse reticulum cell sarcoma macrophage cell line using Rat Anti-Mouse GM-CSF Ra Mono-clonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6130) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (red, upper panel; Catalog # NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue, lower panel). Specific staining was localized to cell surfaces and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background: GM-CSF R alpha
Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor alpha (GM-CSF R alpha ), also known as CD116, is a component of the receptor complex that mediates cellular responses to GM-CSF. GM-CSF promotes the differentiation and mobilization of granulocyte-macrophage, erythroid, megakaryocyte, and eosinophil progenitors. It enhances the activation of myeloid cell effector functions and plays a role in the development of Th1 biased immune responses, allergic inflammation, and autoimmunity (1-4). Mature mouse GM-CSF R alpha is an 80 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that consists of a 298 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two fibronectin type III domains and a juxtamembrane WSXWS motif, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 40 aa cytoplasmic domain (5). Within the ECD, mouse GM-CSF R alpha shares approximately 33% and 58% aa sequence identity with human and rat GM-CSF R alpha, respectively. Soluble forms of the human receptor retain the ability to bind GM-CSF (6, 7). GM-CSF R alpha is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells, progenitor and differentiated cells in the myeloid lineage, vascular endothelial cells, placenta, and non‑hematopoietic solid tumor cells (8). GM-CSF R alpha associates with the common beta chain/CD131 ( beta c), a 135 kDa transmembrane protein that is also the signal transducing component of the receptors for IL-3 and IL-5 (9, 10). Association with beta c converts GM-CSF R alpha from a low affinity to a high affinity receptor for GM-CSF (9-11). The shared usage of beta c underlies the synergism between GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5 in their effects on myeloid cell differentiation and activation (1, 2).
