Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of Ki-67 expression in noncycling Human peripheral blood lymphocytes or proliferating Human MOLT-4 cells. Noncycling normal Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells containing lymphocytes (Top Plots) or proliferating cells from the Human MOLT-4 (T lymphoblastic leukemia, ATCC® CRL-1582™) cell line (Bottom Plots) were permeabilized and fixed with 70% ice-cold ethanol. In separate experiments, the normal or MOLT-4 cells were washed twice with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) [Cat. No. 554656], stained with either BD Horizon™ RB780 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 568532; Left Plots) or BD Horizon™RB780 Mouse Anti-Human Ki-67 antibody (Cat. No. 571659/571737; Right Plots) and counterstained with BD Pharmingen™ DAPI Solution (Cat. No. 564907) to stain DNA. Bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of DNA (DAPI) versus Ki-67 levels (or Ig Isotype control staining) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes or MOLT-4 cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software.

Preparation And Storage
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 unreacted dye was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
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 cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
- 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).
- When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid fragments produced by ammonium chloride-based lysis, such as with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899), has been observed when the antibody conjugate was present during the lysis procedure. This may cause nonspecific staining of target cells, such as leukocytes, which have bound the resulting erythroid fragments. This background can be mitigated by any of the following: titrating the antibody conjugate to a lower concentration, fixing samples with formaldehyde, or removing erythrocytes before staining (eg, gradient centrifugation or pre-lysis with wash). This background has not been observed when cells were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202) after staining.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background. For more information visit https://www.bdbiosciences.com/en-us/support/product-notices.
- Please observe the following precautions: We recommend that special precautions be taken (such as wrapping vials, tubes, or racks in aluminum foil) to protect exposure of conjugated reagents, including cells stained with those reagents, to any room illumination. Absorption of visible light can significantly affect the emission spectra and quantum yield of tandem fluorochrome conjugates.
- Tandem fluorochromes contain both an energy donor and an energy acceptor. Although every effort is made to minimize the lot-to-lot variation in the efficiency of the fluorochrome energy transfer, differences in the residual emission from the donor may be observed. Additionally, multi-laser cytometers may directly excite both the donor and acceptor fluorochromes. Therefore, we recommend for every tandem conjugate, a matched individual single-stain control be acquired for generating a compensation or spectral unmixing matrix.

Antibody Details
Ki-67
The Ki-67 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the Ki-67 antigen (also known as KI67, KI-67). Ki-67 is a nonhistone nuclear protein that is encoded by MKI67 (Marker of Proliferation Ki-67). Ki-67 is associated with cellular proliferation and its expression increases as cells enter and progress through the G1, S, G2, and M cell cycle phases. Ki-67 is a large protein having 2 alternatively spliced isoforms. The Ki-67 protein contains an N-terminal forkhead-associated domain, a protein phosphatase 1-binding domain, a large central region of tandem repeats, and a C-terminal leucine/arginine-rich chromatin-binding domain. Ki-67 is required for cell proliferation and serves as useful marker for distinguishing and analyzing quiescent cells (Ki-67-negative cells within the G0 cell cycle phase) from cycling Ki-67-positive cells including cancer cells.

Format Details
RB780
The BD Horizon RealBlue™ 780 (RB780) Dye is part of the BD family of blue dyes. It is a tandem fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 498-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 781-nm. Driven by BD innovation, RB780 can be used on both spectral and conventional cytometers and is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488-nm) with minimal excitation by the 561-nm Yellow-Green laser. For conventional instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), RB780 can be used as an alternative to PE-Cy7 and we recommend using an optical filter centered near 780-nm (eg, a 780/60-nm bandpass filter). For spectral instruments equipped with a Blue laser (488-nm), it can be used in conjunction with PE-Cy7. RB780 is on average brighter than PE-Cy7 and has minimal spillover into Yellow-Green detectors.
