The 10.1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD64, a 72 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is a high affinity receptor for human IgG (FcγRI), especially the IgG1 and IgG3 subclasses. CD64 is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes activated with interferon-gamma and early myeloid lineage cells. CD64 associates with a signaling FcRγ homodimer to form the functional high affinity FcγRI complex. CD64 functions in both innate and adaptive immune responses and mediates endocytosis, phagocytosis, antigen presentation, antibody-dependent cellular toxicity, cytokine release and superoxide generation.
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.
