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).
The TU169 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class II HLA-DQ1 and DQ2 antigens and weakly to HLA-DQ3. HLA-DQ antigens exits as heterodimers comprised of polymorphic transmembrane HLA-DQ alpha and beta glycoproteins. HLA-DQ is expressed primarily on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and activated T lymphocytes. HLA-DQ is involved in presenting peptidic antigens to CD4+ T lymphocytes. This antibody does not cross-react with HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR7. This antibody fixes complement.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV496 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 496-nm. BD Horizon BUV496 can be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355 nm) and detected with a 515/30 nm filter with a 450LP. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by other laser lines, there may be significant spillover into the channel detecting BD Horizon V500 or BV510 (eg, 525/40-nm filter). However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
