For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) 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).
The A2MR-α2 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with a 600 kDa, type I membrane single protein, also known as the α2 Macroglobulin (α2M) receptor/low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1). Reported to be an endocytic receptor involved with intracellular signalling, lipid homeostasis, clearance of apoptotic cells, and α2 Macroglobulin mediated clearance of secreted amyloid precursor protein found in Alzheimer patients. The single chain receptor undergoes cleavage, shortly after synthesis, into the 85 kDa transmembrane β chain that non-covalently binds to the extracellular 500-515 kDa a chain. It has a broad cellular distribution, but in the hematopoietic system it is expressed on monocyte lineage cells. α2M/LRP-1 mediates endocytosis of a variety of ligands including α2M-proteinase complexes, plasminogen activators in complex with plasminogen activator inhibitor, or Pseudomonas Exotoxin A. Ligand binding to α2M/LRP-1 is followed by rapid transport of the ligand to lysosomes for degradation.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 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 711-nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor® 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor® 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
