BV480 Goat Anti-Mouse Ig
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 with 0.1% Triton™ X-100, blocked with 5% Goat serum, 1% BSA, and 0.5% Triton™ X-100 diluted in 1x PBS, and stained with Purified Mouse Anti-GM130 antibody (Cat. No. 610822/610823) at 1.25 μg/mL. After washing, the cells were stained with the second step reagent, Goat BD Horizon™ BV480 Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 564877) (pseudo-colored green) at 2.5 μg/mL. Cells were then stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-β-Tubulin (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.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The polyclonal antibody was purified from antiserum by negative adsorption and affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon BV480 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV480 were removed.

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.

  BD Horizon™ BV480 Goat Anti-Mouse Ig is intended to be a second-step reagent for immunofluorescent staining of cells pre-stained with Mouse Ig primary antibodies. It is reactive with the heavy and light chains of mouse primary antibodies having the IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, IgM, and IgA isotypes. Minimal background staining of human and rat cells occurs in the absence of a primary mouse antibody. In addition, the BD Horizon BV480 Goat Anti-Mouse Ig stains mouse B lymphocytes with little non-specific staining of other cells. Therefore, it is useful as a primary immunofluorescent reagent for staining mouse B cells and antibody-producing cells and as a secondary reagent for staining human and rat cells pre-stained with mouse Ig primary antibodies.

The antibody 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.
