BV421 Hamster Anti-Mouse FceR1a
BV421 Hamster Anti-Mouse FceR1a
Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of FcεRIα expression on viable Mouse splenic leucocytes. C57BL/6 Mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) [Cat. No. 553142]. The cells were then stained with FITC Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e (Cat. No. 553062), FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 (Cat. No. 553088), and APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD49b (Cat. No. 560628) antibodies and with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Hamster IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562601; Left Plot) or BD OptiBuild™ BV421 Mouse Anti-FcεRIα antibody (Cat. No. 750852; Right Plot) at 0.25 µg/test. 7-AAD (7-Amino-Actinomycin D) Solution (Cat. No. 559925) was added to cells right before analysis. The bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of FcεRIα (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD49b was derived from CD3-negative B220-negative gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. 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 that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.

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.

   For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel.  Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation.  The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. 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).

MAR-1

The MAR-1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Fc-epsilon RI-alpha (FceR1 alpha, also known as FcεR1α or FcER1a) which is likewise known as the IgE Fc receptor subunit alpha. FcεR1α is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Fcer1a (Fc receptor, IgE, high affinity I, alpha polypeptide) which belongs to the Ig gene superfamily. As a single IgE-binding alpha subunit, FcεR1α complexes with signal transducing subunits including one beta subunit (FcεRIβ encoded by Ms4a2) and two disulfide-linked gamma subunits (FcεRIγ encoded by Fcer1g) to form the high-affinity receptor for IgE, Fc epsilon RI (FcεR1 or FcER1). FcεR1 is expressed on basophils and mast cells. Binding of cognate antigens (allergens) to FcεR1 with bound IgE antibodies leads to cellular activation and the release of mediators, including histamine and cytokines, that are responsible for allergic reactions. Tang et al. (2019) have reported that the MAR-1 antibody crossreacts with two other mouse Fc receptor chains, FcγRI (CD64) and FcγRIV (CD16-2), that are expressed by monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, or neutrophils. They suggested MAR-1 binding is specific for FcεRIa only on mast cells and basophils and that for other cell types reactive with the MAR-1 antibody, it may be appropriate to refer to these as MAR-1-positive (MAR-1+) cells.

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.
