BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of mouse F4/80 expression.        Panel 1 - Spleen. C57BL/6 mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142) and stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD11b antibody (Cat. No. 557686) and either BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat IgG2a Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562602; Left Plot) or BD Horizon BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80 antibody (Cat. No. 565411; Right Plot). The two-color flow cytometric contour plot showing the correlated expression of F4/80 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD11b was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable monocytes.        Panel 2 - Peritoneal. C57BL/6 mouse peritoneal cells were preincubated with Mouse BD Fc Block™ and stained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD117 (Cat. No. 553356/561074) and BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80 antibodies. The two-color contour plot showing the correlated expression of F4/80 versus CD117 was derived from gated events with the light-scatter characteristics of viable peritoneal cells.        Flow cytometric analyses were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System. Image analysis of F4/80 expression in mouse spleen.        Panel 3 - Spleen. A section from a paraformaldehyde-fixed and frozen normal C57BL/6 mouse spleen was stained with BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80 (pseudo-colored green), Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 (Cat. No. 557683; pseudo-colored red), and BD Horizon™ BV480 Anti-CD3 (pseudo-colored aqua) antibodies. The image was captured on a standard Epifluorescence microscope using 392/23nm excitation and 430/24nm emission.

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 with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 were removed.

T45-2342

The T45-2342 monoclonal antibody recognizes the mouse F4/80 antigen which is also known as EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 (EMR1). F4/80 is a 160 kDa glycoprotein that belongs to the EGF-TM7 family of seven-transmembrane spanning cell surface molecules. It is expressed on the surface of granulocytes and a wide range of mature tissue macrophages including, Kupffer cells, splenic red pulp macrophages, microglia, gut lamina propria macrophages, and Langerhans cells. F4/80 expression has also been reported on subpopulations of dendritic cells. F4/80 expression is heterogeneous and may be increased during inflammatory responses as observed in various mouse models of colitis, diabetes and brain injury.

 

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.

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.
