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 optimal conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.

Recommended Assay Procedures

For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment.  Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation.  The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions.  More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).

Product Notices

  1. This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
  2. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
  3. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
  4. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  5. 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.

1AH2

The 1AH2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD137. CD137 is a member of the TNFR/NGFR superfamily that is likewise known as Tnfrsf9, 4-1BB, Ly-63, or ILA. Monomers or multimeric forms of CD137 are expressed, upon activation, on the surface of splenic T lymphocytes, thymocytes, intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (IEL), and some T cell lines and clones. While stimulating T cells by IL-2, IL-4, or anti-CD28 alone does not result in the expression of CD137; addition of IL-2, IL-4, anti-CD28, or syngeneic accessory cells to splenic T cells stimulated via TCR/CD3 can result in a high level CD137 expression. CD137 is also reportedly expressed on IL-2 activated NK cells, but not on freshly isolated NK cells. CD137 physically associates with p56 [lck] through a Cys-Arg-Cys-Pro binding site in its cytoplasmic domain; the same motif in the cytoplasmic tail of the CD4 and CD8a molecules is responsible for association with p56 [lck]. A signaling function for the CD137 molecule in mouse T cells is indicated by reports in which cross-linking of CD137 with 1AH2 mAb resulted in enhanced proliferation of CD3e-activated splenic T cells and IEL and in enhanced cytolytic activity of IEL in response to immobilized anti-CD3e. In addition to extracellular matrix proteins which bind to CD137, the CD137L (4-1BBL) serves as a ligand for CD137. This molecule has also been detected on LPS-activated macrophages, and anti-IgM antibody-activated splenic B cells. Interaction between T and B cells through CD137/CD137L is reported to play a role in antigen presentation, further supporting a costimulatory role for CD137 in the immune response of T lymphocytes.

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.

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.
