Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of GM-CSF expressed in stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. HiCK-1 (Human intracellular CytoKine-1) Cytokine Positive Control Cells (Cat. No. 555061) were permeabilized with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were then stained with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 562602, Left Panel) or BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat Anti-Human GM-CSF antibody (Cat No. 562930, Right Panel) by using BD Biosciences Intracellular Cytokine Staining protocol. Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the expressed levels of GM-CSF (or Ig isotype control staining) versus cellular autofluorescence were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Preparation And Storage
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.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

The BVD2-21C11 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human Granulocyte/Macrophage - Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF). Human GM-CSF is encoded by the CSF2 gene and is also known as Colony Stimulating Factor 2. GM-CSF is produced by activated T lymphocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, stromal cells and other cell types including B lymphocytes, mast cells, eosinophils, and osteoblasts. GM-CSF stimulates the survival, proliferation and/or differentiation of various cell types including neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, megakaryocytes, erythroid cells, endothelial cells and their precursors. The immunogen used to generate the BVD2-21C11 hybridoma was recombinant human GM-CSF. The BVD2-21C11 antibody has been reported to crossreact with GM-CSF from the rhesus monkey. BVD2-21C11 is a neutralizing antibody.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon™ BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon™ BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue™ conjugates.
