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 3F9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD210a, which is also known as, Interleukin-10 Receptor subunit alpha (IL-10R subunit alpha/IL-10Rα/IL10RA), or Interleukin-10 receptor subunit 1 (IL-10R1). CD210a is a 90-110 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. CD210a combines with IL-10 Receptor subunit beta (IL-10Rβ/IL10RB/CDw210b) to form the IL-10 Receptor complex (IL-10Rα/IL-10Rβ) that can bind IL-10 and transduce signals intracellularly through the JAK/STAT pathway. IL-10 can suppress antigen presentation and the expression of proinflammatory type-1 immune responses while promoting type-2 immune responses. CD210a is expressed on T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocyte, macrophages and dendritic cells. Clone 3F9 is specific for human CD210a and its binding to the receptor can be blocked by recombinant human IL-10 (rhIL-10) protein.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.
