Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.

The J168-540 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD272, also known as BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator), an inhibitory receptor expressed in bone marrow and thymus on developing B and T cells. In the periphery, BTLA is expressed by B cells, T cells, bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, and macrophages. After T cell activation, BTLA appears to be expressed at higher levels on Th1 cell populations than in Th2 cell populations. Upon binding the herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM/LIGHT-R/CD270), CD272 undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and inhibits T cell proliferation in a BTLA-dependent manner. CD272 has structural similarities to two other lymphocyte inhibitory receptors, CTLA-4 and PD-1 and is a member of the CD28-like family of coreceptors. Based on these observations, CD272 is considered to be a negative regulator of lymphocyte activation and/or function.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV650 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 650 nm. BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor® 700 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
