V450 Mouse Anti-Human TNF
V450 Mouse Anti-Human TNF
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of TNF expression by activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated for 4 hours using Leukocyte Activation Cocktail, with BD GolgiPlug™ (Cat. No. 550583) that contains Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA), ionomycin and brefeldin A. The cells were then fixed and permeabilized using BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The permeabilized cells were stained with Alexa Fluor® 700 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 557943/561027) and either BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse Anti-Human TNF antibody (Cat. No. 561311, Left Panel) or BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse IgG1,κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 560373, Right Panel). Two color flow cytometric dot plots showing the correlated expression of TNF (or Ig Isotype Control Staining) versus CD3 were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. HiCK-1 Human Cytokine Positive Control cells (Cat No. 555061) are prepared in a similar manner. These cells can be used as a positive control for cytokine flow cytometry experiments designed to characterize the nature of human TNF-producing cells. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon™ V450 under optimum conditions, and unreacted BD Horizon™ V450 was removed.

Product Notices

  1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
  4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  5. BD Horizon V450 has a maximum absorption of 406 nm and maximum emission of 450 nm. Before staining with this reagent, please confirm that your flow cytometer is capable of exciting the fluorochrome and discriminating the resulting fluorescence.
  6. Pacific Blue™ is a trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  7. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.

MAb11

The MAb11 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human tumor necrosis factor (TNF, also known as TNF-α) protein. TNF is an efficient juxtacrine, paracrine and endocrine mediator of inflammatory and immune functions. It regulates the growth and differentiation of a variety of cell types. TNF is cytotoxic for transformed cells when in conjunction with IFN-γ. It is secreted by activated monocytes/macrophages and other cells such as B cells, T cells and fibroblasts. The immunogen used to generate the MAb11 hybridoma was recombinant human TNF. The MAb11 antibody has been reported to crossreact with Rhesus Macaque TNF.

The antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ V450, which has been developed for use in multicolor flow cytometry experiments and is available exclusively from BD Biosciences. It is excited by the Violet laser Ex max of 406 nm and has an Em Max at 450 nm. Conjugates with BD Horizon™ V450 can be used in place of Pacific Blue™ conjugates.

V450
BD Horizon™ V450 Dye is part of the BD Horizon™ violet family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 405-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 450-nm. BD Horizon™ V450, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 450-nm (e.g., a 450/50-nm bandpass filter). The dye can be excited by the UV (355-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
