PE Mouse Anti-HCV Core Protein
PE Mouse Anti-HCV Core Protein
Flow cytometric analysis of HCV Core Protein expression in HCV Genotype 1b-transfected cells. HCV Core Protein Genotype 1b-transfected cells were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with Perm/Wash Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were then stained with PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554680; dotted line histogram) or with PE Mouse Anti-HCV Core Protein antibody (Cat. No. 568707/568708; solid line histogram) at 0.06 ug/test. The fluorescence histogram showing HCV Core Protein expression (or Ig isotype staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System. 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 BD® 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 cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. 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.
  3. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

C7-50

The C7-50 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 1b Core Protein. This antibody binds to a linear epitope within amino acids 21 to 40 that is highly conserved among all HCV genotypes. HCV is a positive single-stranded RNA virus with a genome of 9,600 nucleotides that encodes a single polyprotein.  This polyprotein is post-translationally processed into several structural and non-structural proteins required for viral replication. The HCV core protein is a highly basic RNA-binding protein that surrounds the genome to form the viral nucleocapsid.  C7-50 has been used for studying HCV in experimental model systems, including HCV gene-transfected cells.

PE
R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
