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
This antibody conjugate has been tested by immunofluorescent staining (≤ 1.0 µg/million cells) with flow cytometric analysis and as a second-step reagent on mouse splenocytes. This antibody stains rat peripheral B cells, and it has little reactivity with rat non-B splenocytes or mouse splenocytes. As a second step, it is reactive with rat IgG and IgM monoclonal antibodies; a weaker signal is detected when the primary antibody has a rat IgG2b isotype. It has weak cross-reactivity detectable by flow cytometry with some, but not all, hamster immunoglobulins. Consequently, it may be useful as a primary reagent in immunofluorescent staining of rat antibody-producing cells or as a secondary reagent for staining of mouse leukocytes after reaction with rat Ig primary antibodies. However, we have observed that the reactivity of polyclonal second-step antibodies to mouse or rat IgM may be reduced after adsorption against Ig of rat or mouse, respectively. Because this anti-rat Ig antibody was adsorbed with mouse Ig, it may be weakly reactive with some rat IgM primary antibodies. In those cases, we recommend PE Mouse Anti-Rat IgM (Cat. No. 553888) or PE Mouse Anti-Rat Ig, κ Light Chain (Cat. No. 553873).
BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to 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 cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.

Format Details
PE
R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
