Preparation And Storage
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
- This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
- 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.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- 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.

The B64 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Basal Cell Adhesion Molecule (BCAM, B-CAM) which is also known as CD239, Lutheran blood group antigen (Lu), or Lutheran glycoprotein. BCAM (CD239) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by BCAM [basal cell adhesion molecule (Lutheran blood group)] which belongs to the Ig gene superfamily. Full-length BCAM (CD239) is comprised of an extracellular region with two N-terminal V-type Ig-like domains followed by three C2-type Ig-like domains, a transmembrane region, and cytoplasmic domain of 59 amino acid residues. The extracellular region of this adhesion molecule functions as a receptor for α5-chain containing laminins which are found in basement membranes whereas its cytoplasmic tail may have signal-transduction functions. BCAM (CD239) is expressed on erythrocytes and on the basal layer of vascular endothelial cells or some epithelial cells. BCAM (CD239) is highly expressed on sickle red cells and may play a role in vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell disease. It is also upregulated upon malignant transformation of some cell types including those found in ovarian carcinomas.
This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
