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 CNX46-3 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD160, also known as Natural Killer Cell Receptor BY55. CD160 is a glycosyolphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane glycoprotein that contains a single Ig domain. This member of the Ig Superfamily was the first identified as a MHC Class I antigen-specific Ig-like Receptor that was expressed by mouse NK cells. As a receptor, CD160 can bind to classical and non-classical MHC class I molecules with low affinity. As a ligand, CD160 can bind to HVEM (Herpes Virus Entry Mediator, a TNF Receptor Family Member). CD160 is expressed on a subset of NK cells, NKT cells, activated CD8+ T cells and TCR γδ T cells. The functions of CD160 have been reported to regulate NK cell activation both positively and negatively, depending on stimulus.
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.
