BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD25
Flow cytometric analysis of CD25 expression on unstimulated and stimulated mouse splenocytes.        Left and Middle Panels: Mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat No. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 antibody (Cat. No. 553051/561091) and either BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat IgM, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562708; Left Panel) or BD Horizon BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD25 antibody (Cat. No. 564571; Middle Panel). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns for CD25 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD4 for events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable splenocytes.        Right Panel: Mouse splenic leucocytes were stimulated for 3 days with concanavalin A. The cells were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody and then stained with either BD Horizon BV421 Rat IgM, κ Isotype Control (dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD25 antibody (solid line histogram). The fluorescence histograms were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphoblasts.        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

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. 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.
  4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

7D4

The 7D4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD25, the low affinity IL-2 Receptor (IL-2Rα, p55) expressed on activated T and B lymphocytes from all mouse strains tested. IL-2Rα by itself is not a signaling receptor. However, it can combine with IL-2 Receptor β (CD122) and γ (CD132) chains to form high-affinity, signaling receptor complexes for IL-2. Resting T and B lymphocytes as well as resting and activated NK cells do not express IL-2Rα.  CD25 is transiently expressed at a low level during normal B-cell development in the bone marrow on the CD45R/B220low TdT- sIg- Pre-B/Pre-B-II and CD45R/B220low TdT- sIgM+ sIgD- immature B stages, but not on the CD45R/B220low TdT+ sIg- Pro-B/Pre-B-I stage nor on CD45R/B220high TdTsIgM+ sIgD+ mature B cells.  It is expressed at a higher level during a very early stage of T-cell development in fetal and adult thymus. Peripheral CD25+ CD4+ T lymphocytes, called regulatory T (Treg) cells, are involved in the maintenance of self-tolerance. It has also been reported that dendritic cells express CD25, which is recognized by mAb 7D4. The 3C7 antibody recognizes an epitope of CD25 which is distinct from those recognized by mAbs 7D4 and PC61, and it blocks binding of IL-2 to CD25.

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.
