Two-color flow cytometric analysis of CD314 (NKG2D) expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human whole blood was stained with PE Anti-Human CD56 (Cat. No. 555516) and with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562438; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD314 (NKG2D) antibody (Cat. No. 568106; Right Plot) at 0.5 µg/test. The erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). A bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of CD314 (NKG2D) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus CD56 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and CompBead to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).

The 1D11 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to NKG2D, a 42 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is also known as CD314 and KLRK1. NKG2D is a member of the C-type lectin family and is expressed on human NK cells. This activating receptor binds strongly to several ligands including MICA and MICB and ULBP-1, -2, and -3 proteins that are expressed by different target cell types. Different from natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR), NKG2D expression is not confined to NK cells. It is also expressed on virtually all TCR γ/δ+ and CD8+TCR α/β+ T cells. NKG2D functions as a triggering receptor involved in natural cytotoxicity mediated by normal NK cells against a variety of tumors or normal target cells. Importantly, NKG2D can complement the role of NCR in tumor cell lysis. Remarkably, the combined maskings of NCR and NKG2D can reportedly lead to a complete inhibition of NK-mediated lysis of all tumor or normal cells. The 1D11 antibody can reportedly block or stimulate the function of NKG2D-positive cells.
The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument's configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
