Flow cytometric analysis of CD83 expression on cultured human dendritic cells. Human peripheral blood monocytes were treated with 20 ng/ml of Recombinant Human IL-4 (Cat. No. 554605), and 20 ng/ml Recombinant Human GM-CSF (Cat. No. 550068) proteins for 7 days at 37°C. In addition, 20 ng/ml Recombinant Human TNF (Cat. No. 554618) was added for the last two days of culture. The cells were then stained with either BD Horizon™ BV786 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 563330; dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon BUV786 Mouse Anti-Human CD83 antibody (Cat. No. 565336; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histogram showing CD83 expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable dendritic cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometry System.

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 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. 563794/566349).
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

The HB15e monoclonal antibody specifically binds to a 45 kDa type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein member of the Ig superfamily. CD83 is composed of a single V-type Ig extracellular domain with a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Cell surface CD83 is expressed mainly by follicular dendritic cells, circulating dendritic cells, interdigitating dendritic cells in lymphoid tissues, in vitro-generated dendritic cells and thymic dendritic cells. However, its expression is not restricted to dendritic cells. CD83 is also expressed on some germinal center B cells and some lymphoblastoid cell lines. Although its function is not known, it may play a role in cell-cell interaction during antigen presentation.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV786 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786-nm. BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60-nm filter).
