      BV480 Streptavidin
      BV480 Streptavidin
      Immunofluorescence staining of human U-2 OS cells. Cultured cells from the human U-2 OS (Osteosarcoma, ATCC HTB-96) cell line were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655), permeabilized (5 min) with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050), washed with 1x PBS, and blocked with 5% Goat serum, 1% BSA, and 0.5% Triton™ X-100 diluted in 1x PBS. The cells were then treated using the Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit (Vector Laboratories), and stained with Biotin Anti-PCNA antibody (Abcam). After washing, the cells were stained with the second step reagent, BD Horizon™ BV480 Streptavidin (Cat. No. 564876) (pseudo-colored green) at 2.5 μg/mL. Cells were then stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-β-Tubulin antibody (Cat No. 558605) (pseudo-colored red). DAPI (Cat. No. 564907) was used as a nuclear counterstain (pseudo-colored blue). Slides were mounted with ProLong® Gold and the image was captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer (epifluorescence microscope) and merged using BD Attovision™ Software. 20X objective.

      Recommended Assay Procedures

      For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes 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. 563794/566349).

      For Immunofluorescence Applications:

      The use of a mounting reagent (eg, ProLong® Gold) is highly recommended to maximize the photostability of BV480.  For confocal microscopy systems, a 440 nm laser is the optimal excitation source and the recommended emission filter is a 485/20 nm bandpass filter.  

      For epifluorescence microscopes with broad spectrum excitation sources,  the recommended excitation and emission filters are 445/20 nm and 485/20 nm bandpass filters, respectively.  For specific multicolor imaging applications, the exact filter configurations should be optimized by the end user. For additional instrument/filter configuration information, please visit http://www.bdbiosciences.com/research/cellularimaging.

      Antibody Details
      Down Arrow Up Arrow

      BD Horizon BV480 Streptavidin is a useful detection reagent for labeling biotinylated primary or secondary antibodies for detection of antigens by immunofluorescence. Streptavidin has very high binding affinity for biotin, which is conjugated to the antibody.

      Streptavidin was conjugated to BD Horizon BV480 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 436-nm and Em Max at 478-nm, BD Horizon BV480 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon BV510 (525/40-nm) filter set.  BV480 has less spillover into the BV605 detector and, in general, is brighter than BV510.

      BV480
      The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology fluorochrome has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 440-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) of 479-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV480 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 480-nm (e.g., a 525/50 bandpass filter). The increased fluorescence intensity of BV480 and narrower emission spectra, make it a good alternative for BV510 or V500. Due to its excitation profile, BV480 will also has less cross-laser excitation with the UV laser, resulting in less spillover into UV channels compared to BV510. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
