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
- 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 10E5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD226 which is also known as, Platelet and T-cell activation antigen 1 (Pta1), T lineage-specific activation antigen 1 (TLiSA1), or DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1). CD226 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD226 serves as an adhesion molecule that is primarily expressed on T lymphocytes. Naïve CD8+ T cells express high levels of CD226 whereas it is differentially expressed on CD4+ T cells. In certain model systems, long term-cloned Th1 cells can express high CD226 levels when compared with the downregulated CD226 expression exhibited on cloned Th2 and Th0 cells. CD226 expression is also detectable on subsets of CD11b+ macrophages and NK cells. Adhesive interactions between CD226 and its ligands, CD112 and CD155, can result in cell signaling events that promote innate and adaptive immune responses, including the differentiation and survival of cytotoxic cells.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV786 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786-nm. BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60-nm filter).
