Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
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 232-5 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Butyrophilin 3 (BTN3), which is also known as CD277. BTN3 is comprised of three structurally related members, BTN3A1, BTN3A2, and BTN3A3. BTN3 molecules are transmembrane type 1 glycoproteins that belong to the Ig superfamily. The 232-5 antibody recognizes the variable region of the extracellular domains of BTN3 molecules. BTN3 molecules are differentially expressed by T, NKT, B, and NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, as well as some stem cells and tumor cells. BTN3 expression is decreased upon lymphocyte activation. The extracellular domain of CD277 is structurally related to the B7 family of proteins that regulate T cell activation. A soluble form of the 232-5 antibody can serve as an agonist in BTN3-mediated regulation of anti-CD3 ± anti-CD28 antibody activated CD4+ or CD8+ T cells.
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.
