Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
Product Notices
- This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
- The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.

The 3D7 antibody reacts with CD131, the 120 kD common β chain (βc) which is shared with the receptor complexes for human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSFR), interleukin-3 (IL-3R) and interleukin-5 (IL-5R). Together with the α subunit of either the IL-3R (IL-3Rα), IL-5R (IL-5Rα), or GM- CSFR (GM-CSFRα), the common β chain forms high-affinity, signaling receptors for human IL-3, IL-5 and GM-CSF, respectively. Cell surface βc are expressed by a variety of different cell types including hematopoietic progenitor cells derived from pluripotent stem cells, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and Langerhans cells. The immunogen used to generate this hybridoma was cells co-transfected with expression vectors which contained cDNA for the human IL-3 α and β chains.
This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
