Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
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 HMBT-6B2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD272 which is also known as B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA). CD272 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the Ig superfamily. CD272 is variably expressed on developing and mature T and B lymphocytes, NKT cells, NK cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. CD272 expression is upregulated by activated T cells including Th1, Th2, and T follicular helper cells and by anergic T cells. CD272 is structurally similar to CD152/CTLA-4 and CD279/PD-1 and functions as a coinhibitory receptor for B and T cell responses. Herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM), also known as CD270 and LIGHT-R, has been identified as a ligand for CD272. The crosslinking of CD272 by HVEM inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.
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.
