      BUV737 Armenian Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278)
      BUV737 Armenian Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278)
      Multicolor Flow Cytometric Analysis of ICOS (CD278) Expression    Left Panel - ICOS (CD278) expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Whole blood was stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD3 antibody (Cat. No. 555335) and either no antibody (BD Horizon™ BUV737 Autofluorescence Control; Top Plot) or BD Horizon™ BUV737 Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278) antibody (Cat. No. 567918/567919; Bottom Plot) at 0.5 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). The pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of ICOS (CD278) [or BD Horizon™ BUV737 Autofluorescence] versus CD3 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes.    Right Panel - ICOS (CD278) expression on mouse thymocyte subsets. Mouse thymocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553142). The cells were then stained with FITC Rat anti-Mouse CD4 (Cat. No. 553729) and APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a (Cat. No. 553035) antibodies, and either no antibody (BD Horizon™ BUV737 Autofluorescence Control; dashed line histograms) or BD Horizon BUV737 Hamster Anti-ICOS (CD278) antibody (solid line histograms) at 0.5 µg/test. The fluorescence histograms showing ICOS (CD278) expression (or BD Horizon™ BUV737 Autofluorescence) were derived from CD4 and CD8 gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable thymocytes as indicated.    Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

      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 CompBead 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).

         Note:  When using high concentrations of antibody, background binding of this dye to erythroid cell subsets (mature erythrocytes and precursors) has been observed.  For researchers studying these cell populations, or in cases where light scatter gating does not adequately exclude these cells from the analysis, this background may be an important factor to consider when selecting reagents for panel(s).

      C398.4A

      The C398.4A monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Inducible Costimulator (ICOS), which is also known as, CD278, Activation-inducible lymphocyte immunomediatory molecule (AILIM), or H4. ICOS is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that forms a disulfide-linked homodimer and belongs to the CD28 family within the Ig superfamily. ICOS is expressed on either CD4+ or CD8+ single-positive mature thymocytes, T cells, or subsets of Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC). Its expression is upregulated on activated T lymphocytes. ICOS is a costimulatory receptor that can bind to the B7-H2 ligand (CD275, ICOS-L) that is expressed on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells. ICOS plays a critical role in many types of T cell-dependent immunity. In the case of humoral immunity, for example, ICOS signaling is critical for the differentiation of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and development of germinal centers. Although C398.4A was generated against mouse ICOS, this antibody reportedly crossreacts with human, rhesus, and rat ICOS.

      BUV737
      The BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet 737 (BUV737) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This tandem fluorochrome is comprised of a BUV395 donor with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 350-nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 735-nm. BUV737, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 740-nm (e.g., 740/35 bandpass filter). The acceptor dye can be excited by the Red (628–640nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
