Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of Active β2 Integrin (CD18) expression on untreated or stimulated human peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) collected with either heparin or EDTA anticoagulants.      Left Panel: PBL collected with heparin were either untreated (Top Plots) or were stimulated with 200 nM PMA (37°C, 20 min; Bottom Plots). The cells were stained with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562438; Left Plots) or BD Horizon™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Human Active β2 Integrin (CD18) antibody (Cat. No. 567952/567953; Right Plots). The erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution (Cat. No. 349202). The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of Active β2 Integrin (CD18) [or Ig Isotype control staining] versus side light-scatter (SSC-A) signals were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact leucocyte populations. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software.      Right Panel: PBL collected with the chelating agent, EDTA were similarly treated, stained and analyzed by multiparameter flow cytometry.

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® CompBeads 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).

mAb 24

mAb 24 (also known as 24 or m24) specifically recognizes a divalent cation-dependent epitope expressed by active human Integrin β2 which is also known as CD18. Integrin β2 is an ~95 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by ITGB2 (integrin subunit beta 2). Integrin β2 (CD18) noncovalently associates with other integrin α chains to form αLβ2 (CD11a/CD18; also known as, LFA-1), αMβ2 (CD11b/CD18; Mac-1, CR3), αXβ2 (CD11c/CD18; p150,95; CR4) and αDβ2 (CD11d/CD18) heterodimers. These integrins are variably expressed on lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, Langerhans cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). These leucocyte integrins bind to various ligands and mediate cellular adhesion and signaling responses that regulate cellular activation, effector function, and migration. mAb 24 binds to the extended/open, high-affinity ligand-binding conformation of active Integrin β2 (CD18). mAb 24 can be used as a reporter antibody for the activated status of Integrin β2-containing receptors expressed by leucocytes in response to various stimuli in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+.

BV421
The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
