Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis using BD OptiBuild™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Rat Marginal Zone B Cells antibody (Cat. No. 743341) with PE Mouse Anti-Rat CD45R on live Lewis rat splenocytes. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 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 HIS57 monoclonal antibody reacts with an unknown antigen that is highly expressed by most marginal zone B (MZ-B) cells in the spleen. In contrast, this antigen is weakly expressed, or not expressed at all, by other B-cell subpopulations. Rat MZ-B cells express low levels of CD45R (mAb HIS24) and sIgD and high levels of sIgM. The HIS57 mAb does not stain granulocytes and thymocytes. Immunohistochemical staining of normal spleen sections with HIS57 mAb produced a positive signal in the marginal zone and, to a lesser extent, in B-cell follicles. This marker can be used in combination with CD45R, sIgD, and sIgM t0 identify MZ-B cells in the rat.
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.
