      BV480 Mouse Anti-Mouse RORγt
      BV480 Mouse Anti-Mouse RORγt
      Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of RORγt expression in mouse thymocytes. BALB/c mouse thymocytes were stained with BD Horizon™ BUV395 Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 (Cat. No. 740208) and FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a (Cat. No. 553031/553030/561966) antibodies, fixed and then permeabilized using the BD Pharmingen™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 562574/562725). The fixed and permeabilized cells were then stained with BD Horizon™ BV480 Mouse Anti-Mouse RORγt antibody (Cat. No. 567176) at 0.125 µg/test. The overlapping histograms show the levels of RORγt expression in CD4+ CD8- single-positive (dashed line histogram) or CD4+ CD8+ double-positive (solid line histogram) thymocytes. The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. 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

      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 to the dye under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed.

      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 Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

      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) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).

      For Immunofluorescence Applications:

      The use of a mounting reagent (eg, ProLong® Gold) is highly recommended to maximize the photostability of BV480.  For confocal microscopy systems, a 440 nm laser is the optimal excitation source and the recommended emission filter is a 485/20 nm bandpass filter.  

      For epifluorescence microscopes with broad spectrum excitation sources,  the recommended excitation and emission filters are 445/20 nm and 485/20 nm bandpass filters, respectively.  For specific multicolor imaging applications, the exact filter configurations should be optimized by the end user.

      Q31-378

      The Q31-378 monoclonal antibody recognizes mouse RORgamma t  (RORγt), an isoform of RORgamma (RORγ). RORγt is a DNA-binding transcription factor that belongs to the ROR/RZR orphan nuclear receptor family. RORγt is expressed exclusively by lymphoid cells including CD4+CD8+ thymocytes, peripheral CD4+ Th17 and CD8+ Tc17 cells, NKT cells and innate lymphoid cells such as lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells. RORγt plays essential roles in thymopoiesis, T cell homeostasis, differentiation of effector T lymphocytes and the development of secondary lymphoid tissues including lymph nodes and Peyer's patches.

      The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV480 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 436-nm and Em Max at 478-nm, BD Horizon BV480 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon BV510 (525/40-nm) filter set.  BV480 has less spillover into the BV605 detector and, in general, is brighter than BV510.

      BV480
      The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology fluorochrome has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 440-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) of 479-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV480 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 480-nm (e.g., a 525/50 bandpass filter). The increased fluorescence intensity of BV480 and narrower emission spectra, make it a good alternative for BV510 or V500. Due to its excitation profile, BV480 will also has less cross-laser excitation with the UV laser, resulting in less spillover into UV channels compared to BV510. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
