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 MTS510 antibody reacts with the molecular complex of Toll-Like Receptor 4 and MD-2 (TLR4-MD-2) which is expressed on LPS responsive macrophages. TLR4, a member of the Toll-Like Receptor Family, has been renamed as CD284 and identified to be the transmembrane signal-transducing portion of the receptor for LPS. TLR4 associates on the cell surface with CD14 and MD-2, a 0.7 kDa molecule which is anchored to the membrane via its physical association with TLR4. The association of MD-2 with TLR4 is required for recognition of LPS and the anti-mitotic compound Taxol, which mimics the action of LPS on mouse cells. MTS510 mAb detects TLR4-MD-2 on the surface of thioglycollate-elicited macrophages from all mouse strains tested (ie, BALB/c, C57BL/6, C3H/HeJ, C3H/HeN, and DBA/1), including the C3H/HeJ strain which expresses an LPS-resistant mutant TLR4. Expression of TLR4-MD-2 is down-regulated on peritoneal macrophages after exposure to LPS, correlating with the occurrence of LPS tolerance. TLR4-MD-2 is not detected on splenocytes or thymocytes.
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).
