Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Pacific Blue™ is a trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.

BD Horizon™ BV421 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG is intended to be a second-step reagent for immunofluorescent staining of cells pre-stained with Rabbit IgG primary antibodies. It reacts with rabbit IgG and the light chains of other rabbit immunoglobulins. BV421 Anti-Rabbit IgG has minimal crossreactivity with human, mouse, or rat serum proteins. As a second step staining reagent, it is reactive with rabbit polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. BD Horizon BV421 has an Ex Max at 407 nm and Em Max at 421 nm. The use of a mounting reagent (eg, ProLong® Gold) is highly recommended to maximize the photostability of BV421.
For confocal microscopy systems, a 405 nm laser is the optimal excitation source with optimal emission collection centered at 421 nm. For epifluorescence microscopes with broad spectrum excitation sources, the recommended excitation and emission filters are 392/23 nm and 430/24 nm bandpass filters, respectively. For specific multicolor imaging applications, the exact filter configurations should be optimized by the end user.
