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 that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.

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 two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes 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. 563794/566349) 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).

Product Notices

  1. 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.
  2. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  4. 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.
  5. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  6. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

8C12

The 8C12 antibody recognizes an epitope present on the 190-kDa complement  receptor protein, originally designated CR1 (CD35), but not the 145-150-kDa CR2 (CD21) molecule.  Unlike the human system, in which these proteins are products of independent genes, both of these mouse receptors are membrane  proteins resulting from the alternative splicing of mRNA transcribed from the Cr2 gene.  Therefore, an alternative nomenclature has been proposed, designating the proteins Cr2-190 (CD21b) and Cr2-145 (CD21a), respectively.  The epitope recognized by 8C12 mAb is only present on CD35/CD21b.   Moreover, it has also been proposed that Crry is the true mouse genetic homologue of human CR1 (CD35).  In the mouse, CD35 is expressed on the majority of peripheral B cells, on the majority of resident peritoneal macrophages, on peripheral blood granulocytes after treatment with N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, and on follicular dendritic cells, but not on thymocytes, T cells, erythrocytes, or platelets.  In addition, it has not been detected, at the protein or mRNA level, in the macrophage cell line J774, bone marrow-derived macrophages, or thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages.  The 8C12 mAb has been reported to inhibit rosette formation by C3bbearing sheep erythrocytes,  to block the complement-dependent trapping of immune complexes by follicular dendritic cells,  and to down-regulate mouse CD35 expression upon in vivo application,  inhibiting only some primary antibody responses to immunization.  B lymphocytes of Cr2[null] mice display impaired humoral immune responses in vivo.  The 8C12 mAb recognizes an epitope on mouse CD35 distinct from the epitope recognized by anti-mouse CD21/CD35 mAb 7G6, and it does not block binding by 7G6 mAb to CD35.

*Please note that the isotype of 8C12 mAb was originally reported to be Rat IgG2c. Further investigations have demonstrated that the isotype of 8C12 mAb is Rat IgG2a.

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.

BUV805
The BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet 805 (BUV805) 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 351-nm and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum (Em Max) at 803-nm. BUV805, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 805-nm (e.g., a 820/60 or a 780/60 bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
