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 8D7 monoclonal antibody recognizes Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGPR 1), also known as Hepatic lectin H1 (HL-1). ASGPR 1 is an approximately 42 kDA type II integral membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of hepatic cells. It is expressed by hepatocytes on the sinusoidal-lateral plasma membrane but not on the bile canalicular membrane. ASGPR 1 plays a role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis. It functions as a subunit of the Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) complex that binds, internalizes, and transports various glycoproteins for lysosomal degradation. The receptor may also promote hepatic infection by the binding and uptake of various viruses. The immunogen used to generate the 8D7 hybridoma was rat liver membrane extracts. Rat ASGPR consists of three polypeptide subunits (Rat hepatic lectin 1-3 (RHL1-3). The 8D7 antibody has been shown to react with a subunit-specific epitope on RHL-1. Clone 8D7 cross-reacts with human ASGPR 1.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.
