FOLR2 in Human Neutrophils. FOLR2 was detected in immersion fixed human neutrophils using Mouse Anti-Human FOLR2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5697) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell surfaces and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Non-adherent Cells.

Background: FOLR2

Folate Receptor 2 (FOLR2), also known as Folate Receptor beta, is a 38 kDa glycoprotein that is anchored to the membrane via glycosyl phosphatidylinositol. It mediates the cellular uptake of dietary folates that are required for key steps in amino acid metabolism. FOLR2 is predominantly expressed in placenta, myeloid cells, and some CD34⁺ hematopoietic progenitor cells. It is upregulated on some cancer cells and at sites of chronic inflammation. Human FOLR2 shares 83% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat FOLR2.
