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 that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.

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).

Product Notices

  1. 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.
  2. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  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.

YTH 76.3.rMAb

The YTH 76.3rMAb is a recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes a monomorphic epitope on the extracellular region of the Human Leukocyte Antigen-B (HLA-B) heavy chain. This major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen is comprised of a polymorphic HLA-B heavy chain, a ~45 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by HLA-B, that is noncovalently associated with the invariant ~12 kDa Beta-2 (β2)-microglobulin light chain encoded by B2M. Hundreds of HLA-B alleles have been reported. HLA-B is expressed on most nucleated cells and leucocytes including specialized antigen presenting cells such as thymic epithelial cells and dendritic cells. HLA-B plays a major role in the MHC-restricted presentation of small peptides, including those derived from self or foreign antigens, that can be bound by TCR expressed on CD8+ thymocytes or T cells leading to either immune tolerance, the maturation of naïve CD8+ T cells, or the activation and differentiation of CD8+ cytotoxic effector T cells or memory CD8+ T cells. HLA-B also functions as a ligand for regulatory CD8 coreceptor molecules and some CD158 molecules that serve as regulatory MHC class I antigen receptors expressed by CD8+ T cells and NK cells. The YTH 76.3rMAb is derived from the hybridoma clone YTH 76.3, with Rat IgG2a, κ isotype. YTH 76.3rMAb has variable region sequences from the original YTH 76.3 clone appended to Rat IgG1 and kappa constant region sequences.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV786 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786-nm.  BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60-nm filter).

BV786
The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 786 (BV786) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a BV421 donor with an Ex Max of 407-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786-nm.  BV786, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the violet laser and detected using a filter, centered near 785 nm (e.g. 780/60 nm bandpass filter).  Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and filters) are appropriate for this dye.
