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.

Companion Products
The VIM15 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD92 which is also known as Solute carrier family 44 member 1 (SLC44A1), or Choline transporter-like protein 1 (CHTL1). CD92 is a multipass membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the choline transporter-like family. It contains a tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic C-terminus. CD92 appears to be involved in choline transport for cell membrane phospholipid synthesis and in regulatory cell-signaling pathways. CD92 is strongly expressed by monocytes and at lower levels by granulocytes and some dendritic cells. It is generally expressed at low levels by B cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and subsets of T cells, or NK cells. The VIM15 antibody has been shown to augment lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-10 production by monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DC). When cultured with ionomycin or calcium ionophore, maturing Mo-DC showed downregulation of CD92 expression.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV805 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BUV395 with an Ex Max of 348 nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 805 nm. BD Horizon Brilliant BUV805 can be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355 nm) and detected with a 820/60 filter and a 770LP.
