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 108724 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Axl which is also known as adhesion related kinase (ARK), JTK11, Tyro7, or UFO. Tyro-3, Axl, and Mer constitute the TAM subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Axl is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein comprised of an extracellular region with two immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains and two fibronectin type III (FNIII) domains, a transmembrane segment and a conserved intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Axl is variably expressed by multiple cell types including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, NK cells, platelets, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts. Axl binds to the vitamin K-dependent Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) through its extracellular Ig-like domains. Ligand binding leads to receptor dimerization, and autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues within the cytoplasmic Axl domains. This results in the activation of downstream signaling pathways that control cellular adhesion, aggregation, phagocytosis/efferocytosis, proliferation, survival, and migration. Through these activities, Axl plays major roles in development, the regulation of hematopoiesis and immunity, and ensuring the integrity of the vascular system. Abnormal expression of Axl has been observed in various cancers and myeloproliferative disorders and by tumor cell lines.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 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 711-nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor® 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor® 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
