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.

The EBVCS-5 antibody specifically binds to human CD23, the low affinity receptor for human IgE (Fc epsilon RII or FcεRII), which is also known as C-type lectin domain family 4 member J (CLEC4J). CD23 is expressed as a ~45 kDa type II membrane glycoprotein that is present at low density on most normal B lymphocytes and at higher levels on activated B lymphocytes, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblasts, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells of B-lymphocyte origin, and tonsillar B lymphocytes. CD23 expression is induced on B cells by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and is lost after isotype switching to IgA, IgG, or IgE. The CD23 antigen is not present on immature bone marrow B lymphocytes or on T lymphocytes. CD23 may also be differentially expressed on monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, platelets, dendritic cells, and Langerhans cells. CD23 can mediate IgE-dependent cytotoxicity and phagocytosis by macrophages and eosinophils. Soluble CD23 (sCD23) can be released by CD23-positive cells as a result of proteolytic cleavage of membrane CD23. Larger fragments of sCD23 (eg, 25-37 kDa) retain their IgE-binding capacity whereas smaller fragments (ie, ≤ 12 kDa) do not. Soluble CD23 may have immunoregulatory effects on the growth and differentiation of B cells and other cell types.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV805 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BUV395 with an Ex Max of 348 nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 805 nm. BD Horizon Brilliant BUV805 can be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355 nm) and detected with a 820/60 filter and a 770LP.
