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.

Companion Products
The 268318 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD204 which is also known as Scavenger receptor class A member 1 (SR-A1 or SCARA1), Scavenger receptor type A (SRA-A), Macrophage acetylated LDL receptor I and II, or Macrophage scavenger receptor types I and II. CD204 is a trimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by MSR1 (Msr1 macrophage scavenger receptor 1) which belongs to the type 1 class A scavenger receptor family. The C-terminal extracellular region of CD204 contains a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain followed by a collagen domain and an alpha-helical coiled coil. It is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, microglia, dendritic cells, and mast cells. CD204 is involved in the uptake of various negatively-charged macromolecules including modified proteins, polysaccharides, polyribonucleic acids, and microbial products and plays a role in innate and acquired immunity.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV480 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 436-nm and Em Max at 478-nm, BD Horizon BV480 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon BV510 (525/40-nm) filter set. BV480 has less spillover into the BV605 detector and, in general, is brighter than BV510.
