This product is for basic research and intended for experienced users only! Interpretation of results may be complicated, and MRC Holland may only be able to provide basic support.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P110 FCGR mix 1 and SALSA MLPA Probemix P111 FCGR mix 2 are research use only (RUO) assays for the detection of genomic rearrangements and point mutations in the 180 kb FCGR2/3 locus at 1q23.3.
Receptors for the Fc portion of IgG play an essential role in the protection of the organism against foreign antigens by removing antigen-antibody complexes from the circulation. Receptors are present on monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer (NK) cells, and T and B lymphocytes. The receptors participate in diverse functions, such as phagocytosis of immune complexes and modulation of antibody production by B cells. Genes for several low-affinity Fc gamma receptors are clustered on chromosome 1q23.3 Within a 180 kb chromosomal area are genes for the FCGR2A, FCGR2B, FCGR2C, FCGR3A, and FCGR3B proteins. In addition, this region contains genes for the HSPA6 and HSPA7 heat shock proteins.
Due to high similarity between these FCGR genes and their close proximity, gene rearrangements are frequent in this chromosomal region. Various functionally relevant polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes, as well as copy number variation of the FCGR2C, FCGR3A, and FCGR3B genes, have been reported. The MLPA probemixes P110 FCGR mix 1 and P111 FCGR mix 2 cover the mentioned FCGR genes and are intended to detect both copy number changes of these genes as well as frequent polymorphisms and point mutations, such as FCGR2B -386G/C, FCGR2B -120A/T, FCGR3A p.Val158Phe, FCGR2B p.Ile232Thr, FCGR2A p.His166Arg, and FCGR2A p.Gln62Trp. Probes for FCGR3B Human Neutrophil Antigen 1 (HNA1) alleles NA1, NA2 and SH, and FCGR2C STOP, classic and non-classic ORF haplotypes are also included.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P110 FCGR mix 1 is for research use only (RUO) in all territories.
SALSA Binning DNA SD038 is an artificial DNA sample with a signal for all probes in the P110 FCGR mix 1 probemix. Inclusion of a reaction with SD038 in initial experiments and in experiments following a change in electrophoresis conditions is recommended to aid in the creation of a bin set that links peaks to the probes that produce them. Binning DNA cannot be used as a reference sample in the MLPA data analysis, and cannot be used to quantify the signals of mutation-specific probes.
A vial of SALSA Binning DNA SD038 is included with every order of the P110 FCGR mix 1 probemix, but it is possible to order additional vials separately.
For more information, see the product description.
A general SALSA MLPA Reagent Kit is required for MLPA experiments (to be ordered separately).
A vial is included with every order of this probemix, but additional vials can also be purchased separately.
The prices above are list prices for direct orders from MRC Holland. Contact us for a quote that takes discounts and additional costs (such as shipping costs) into account. Different prices apply for orders through one of our sales partners; contact your local supplier for a quote.
Inclusion of a positive sample is usually not required, but can be useful for the analysis of your experiments. MRC Holland has very limited access to positive samples and cannot supply such samples. We recommend using positive samples from your own collection. Alternatively, you can use positive samples from an online biorepository, such as the Coriell Institute.
We have no information about specific commercially available positive samples that can be used with this product.
