BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD317 (BST2)
BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD317 (BST2)
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of CD317 (BST2) expression on mouse splenocytes. SJL mouse spleen cells were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 antibody (Cat. No. 557683) and either BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562603; Left Plot) or BD Horizon BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD317 (BST2) antibody (Cat. No. 566431; Right Plot) at 0.06 μg/test. Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the correlated expression of CD45R/B220 versus CD317 (BST2) [or Ig Isotype control staining] were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable mononuclear cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System. 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 with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 were removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

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).

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.

927

The 927 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD317 which is also known as Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST2) or Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Ag-1 (PDCA-1). CD317 (BST2) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Bst2. It is highly expressed on naïve plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) which comprise very small populations within lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues. pDC are characteristically early responders to viruses through Toll-like receptors (TLR), TLR7 and TLR9. Activated pDC can produce large amounts of proinflammatory cytokines including type I interferons, Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and Interferon-beta (IFN-β), and are also known as Type I IFN producing cells (IPC). CD317 (BST2) expression can be upregulated on a variety of other cell types following stimulation with type I IFNs and IFN gamma including T cells, B cells, plasma cells, NK cells, CD8+ and CD8- dendritic cells, and cell lines. CD317 (BST2) may play a role in sorting proteins, eg, cytokines, from the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane.

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.
