BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD340 (HER-2)
BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD340 (HER-2)
Flow cytometric analysis of CD340 (HER-2) expression on human breast cancer cell lines. Cells from either the MCF7 (ATCC HTB-22; Left Panel) or SK-BR-3 (ATCC HTB-30D-2; Right Panel) human breast adenocarcinoma cell line were stained with either BD Horizon BV421™ Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562438; dashed line histograms) or BD Horizon BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD340 (HER-2) antibody (Cat. No. 566458/566459; solid line histograms) at 0.5 μg/test. The histograms showing CD340 (HER-2) expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 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).

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  4. 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.

24D2

The 24D2 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD340 which is also known as Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2 or HER2), Neu (neuro/glioblastoma derived oncogene homolog), or Metastatic lymph node gene 19 protein (MLN19). CD340 (HER-2) is a ~185 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ERBB2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) and belongs to the ERBB family of receptor tyrosine kinases that includes EGFR, HER3, and HER4. Although CD340 (HER-2) has no identified direct-binding ligand, it can form heterodimers with other ligand-bound ERBB family members.  CD340 (HER-2) helps activate intracellular signaling pathways including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K) through its cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase-containing region.  CD340 (HER-2) is expressed by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. It is overexpressed and plays a significant role in the development of multiple human cancers including some leukemias, neuroblastomas, and carcinomas of the breast, ovary, cervix, colon, and lung.

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.

BV421
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.
