BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human IL-2

Name: BV421 Mouse Anti-Human IL-2
Brand: BD Horizon™
SKU: 562914

Clone 5344.111

(RUO)

Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of IL-2 expressed in stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. HiCK-1 Human Cytokine Positive Control Cells (Cat. No. 555061) were permeabilized with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were then stained with FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD3 antibody (Cat. No. 555916) and either BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 562438, Left Panel) or with BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human IL-2 antibody (Cat No. 562914, Right Panel). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots show IL-2 expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD3 derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

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.

Product Notices

This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
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.

Antibody Details

5344.111

The 5344.111 antibody specifically binds to the multifunctional cytokine, human interleukin-2 (IL-2). IL-2 is produced by activated T cells and has multiple functions that can affect the growth, proliferation and differentiation of many different target cell types including T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes and macrophages. The immunogen used to generate the 5344.111 hybridoma was affinity-purified, recombinant human IL-2 protein.

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.

Format Details

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.

Format: BV421

Excitation Source: Violet 405 nm
