Clone MHN4-2

(RUO)

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Notch4 expression on a human lymphoblastic leukemia cell line. Cells from the human MOLT-3 (T lymphoblastic leukemia, ATCC CRL-1552) cell line were harvested and stained with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562438; dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human Notch4 antibody (Cat. No. 563905; solid line histogram) at matched concentrations. The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light scattering characteristics of viable MOLT-3 cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

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 with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 were removed.

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.
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.
Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

Antibody Details

MHN4-2

The MHN4-2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an extracellular domain of Neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 4, also known as, Notch4 (or Notch 4 and Notch-4). Notch4 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Notch Receptor Family comprised of Notch1 through Notch4. Notch4 serves as a receptor for several ligands including Delta1, Jagged1, and Jagged2 that can be expressed on the same or different cells. Notch4 plays important roles in embryonic and postnatal development and cell fate determination by regulating cellular differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. After ligand binding, the Notch4 receptor is cleaved in its extracellular and transmembrane domains. The cleaved notch intracellular domain (NICD) dissociates from the membrane and translocates to the nucleus where it can act as a transcriptional activator of downstream target genes involved with cellular differentiation and other responses. Notch4 is expressed at high levels in the heart and by endothelial cells and by certain CD34-positive and CD34-negative human bone marrow cell subsets. It is over-expressed by cells in certain breast, colon, and lung cancers.

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.

Format Details

BV421

The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.

Format: BV421
