Flow cytometric analysis using BD OptiBuild™ BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD132 (common γ chain) antibody (Cat. No. 740039; solid line histogram) on live C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes, with corresponding Ig Isotype Control (dotted line histogram). Flow cytometry was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System.

Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
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).
Product Notices
- This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
- 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.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.

The TUGm2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD132, which is also known as, the common γ subunit (γc). The γc chain subunit is shared by the IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15 receptor complexes. The γc receptor is expressed constitutively at low levels by most lymphocytes, myeloid cells, embryonic thymocytes, and lymphoid cell lines. The γc receptor is a 75-80 kD transmembrane glycoprotein which mediates signal transducing activities of cytokine receptor complexes with which it is associated. TUGm2 antibody can significantly block the binding of and proliferative response to IL-4 by CTLL-2 cells. It can also inhibit binding to high-affinity IL-2 receptors expressed by CTLL-2 cells. By itself, the TUGm2 antibody reportedly fails to significantly inhibit CTLL-2 proliferative responses to IL-2. However, when added along with TM-β1 (Cat. No. 553359), specific for the mouse IL-2Rβ chain, TUGm2 was shown to synergistically reduce IL-2-driven CTLL-2 proliferative responses. TUGm2 can reduce the IL-7-induced proliferation of Con A-activated mouse splenocytes and the IL-7 responsive pre-B cell line, IxN/2b.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.
