Preparation And Storage
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) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).
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.
- 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.

The 6F9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD96, also known as TACTILE (T cell activation increased late expression). CD96 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the Ig superfamily. CD96 is expressed at low levels on resting natural killer (NK) cells and T cells and at high levels on activated NK and T cells. CD96 is also expressed on some T-cell leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia cells. CD96 may serve as a marker for acute myelogenous leukemia stem cells. CD96 plays a role in the adhesive interactions of activated NK and T cells during immune responses. CD96 binds to the poliovirus receptor (CD155) that is highly expressed by some tumor cells. CD155-mediated ligation of CD96 can induce NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. CD96-mediated uptake of CD155 may adversely affect NK cells and thus reduce their effectiveness in anti-tumor responses.
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.
