CD268 / BAFF-R antibody | 2C4
Paraffin sections of bursal tissue were stained with the mouse anti chicken CD268 / BAFF-R antibody, clone 2C4 (2.5 μg/ml) followed by horse anti mouse Ig secondary antibody conjugated to biotin. Visualization was undertaken using a Vector ABC Kit and peroxidase activity was developed using 3.3´ diamino-benzidine-tetrahydro-chloride (DAB).

Peripheral blood lymphocytes were separated by density centrifugation and first stained with the mouse anti chBAFF-R (clone 2C4) and then with goat anti mouse IgG1 secondary antibody conjugated to FITC, finally blocked with 10% normal mouse serum and followed by staining with the mouse anti chicken Bu-1a/b (clone AV20) conjugated to APC.

Mouse anti Chicken CD268 / BAFF-R, clone 2C4, recognizes the chicken homologue of human BAFF-R, known also as CD268 and TNFRSF 13C, a cell surface antigen expressed by avian B-cells.
Chicken BAFF-R (B cell activating factor receptor) differs from mammalian BAFF-R in that it is produced in B-cells (Reddy et al. 2008) and is not expressed by chicken T-cells. In addition to chicken, clone 2C4 has been shown to cross react with several other commercially important avian species and as such is a specific marker of B-cells for research in domestic galliforms.
Mouse anti Chicken CD268 / BAFF-R, clone 2C4 is unique in that it can be used in formalin fixed paraffin embbeded tissues and is therefore of particular use on sections from infection studies.
