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 UIC2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an extracellular epitope of CD243, which is also known as ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), or P-glycoprotein 1. CD243 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that spans the membrane 12 times. CD243 acts as an ATP-dependent efflux pump for a large variety of lipophilic molecules and drugs. This efflux activity has been suggested to lead to resistance to the drugs used in chemotherapy. CD243 is expressed by epithelial and endothelial cells, and at low levels by T cells, B cells, NK cells, and hematopoietic stem cells. It may be expressed at high levels by multidrug resistant (MDR) tumor cells. The UIC2 antibody reportedly inhibited the efflux of CD243 substrates from MDR cells and increased the cytotoxicity of certain CD243-transported drugs. The UIC2 antibody reportedly does not crossreact with mouse CD243.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV737 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 737-nm. BD Horizon Brilliant BUV737 can be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355 nm) and detected with a 740/35 filter. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by other laser lines, there may be significant spillover into channels detecting Alexa Fluor® 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20-nm filter).
Due to spectral differences between labeled cells and beads, using BD™ CompBeads can result in incorrect spillover values when used with BD Horizon BUV737 reagents. Therefore, the use of BD CompBeads or BD CompBeads Plus to determine spillover values for these reagents is not recommended. Different BUV737 reagents (eg, CD4 vs. CD45) can have slightly different fluorescence spillover therefore, it may also be necessary to use clone specific compensation controls when using these reagents.
