BV421 Mouse Anti-Human KLRG1
BV421 Mouse Anti-Human KLRG1
Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of KLRG1 expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human whole blood was stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD56 (Cat. No. 563238) and either BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse IgG1, k Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562438; Left Plot) or BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human KLRG1 antibody (Cat. No. 568268/568269; Right Plot). After staining, the cells were treated with 1× BD Pharm Lyse™ lysing solution (Cat. No. 555899) to remove erythrocytes. Bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of KLRG1 (or Isotype control) versus CD56 were derived from gated events based on side and forward light-scattering characteristics of intact lymphocyte populations. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD BD Fortessa™ X-20 Flow Cytometer System and FlowJo™ software.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.   However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel.  Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation.  The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).

Z7-205.rMAb

The Z7-205.rMAb monoclonal antibody specifically binds to KLRG1 (Killer cell Lectin-like Receptor G1), which is the homolog of the rat mast cell function-associated antigen (MAFA). KLRG1 is an inhibitory lectin-like type II transmembrane receptor containing a ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) cytoplasmic motif.. KLRG1 is expressed mainly as a homodimeric molecule consisting of two 30-38 kDa N-glycosylated subunits. Binding to its ligands E-, N- and R-cadherins prevents Akt phosphorylation and increases expression of cell cycle inhibitors. Human KLRG1 is expressed on a large subset of NK cells, lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, adherent LAK (A-LAK) cells, subsets of activated CD8+ T lymphocytes, and small fractions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, but not mast cells (unlike the rat homolog, which is expressed on mast cells). KLRG1 expression is correlated with reduced proliferative capacity and effector functions of activated T lymphocytes and NK cells.

BV421
The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
