BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse Anti-Human Desmoglein 2
Clone 6D8 (RUO)

Flow cytometric analysis of Desmoglein 2 expression on viable Human CD34+ lymphoid cells. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD34 antibody (Cat. No. 555822) and with either BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 566928; dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse Anti-Human Desmoglein 2 antibody (Cat. No. 570776/570854; solid line histogram). DAPI Solution (Cat. No. 564907) was added to cells right before analysis. The fluorescence histogram showing Desmoglein 2 expression (or Ig Isotype control staining) [Right Plot] was derived from gated CD34 positive cells [Left Plot as indicated] with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (DAPI-negative) lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software.

Flow cytometric analysis of Desmoglein 2 expression on viable Human HeLa cells. Cells from the HeLa (Cervical adenocarcinoma, ATCC® CCL-2™) cell line were stained with either BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 566928; dashed line histogram) or BD Horizon™ R718 Mouse Anti-Human Desmoglein 2 antibody (Cat. No. 570776/570854; solid line histogram). DAPI Solution (Cat. No. 564907) was added to cells right before analysis. The fluorescence histogram showing the expression of Desmoglein 2 (or Ig Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (DAPI-negative) cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- Human donor specific background has been observed in relation to the presence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies, developed as a result of certain vaccines containing PEG, including some COVID-19 vaccines. We recommend use of BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer in your experiments to help mitigate potential background.

The 6D8 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the extracellular region of human Desmoglein 2 which is also known as Cadherin family member 5 (CDHF5). Desmoglein 2 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by DSG2 which belongs to the cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily. Desmoglein 2 is variably expressed by epithelial cells, cardiomyocytes, endothelial progenitors associated with neoangiogenesis, and by CD34+CD45lo hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Desmoglein-2 plays essential roles in cellular adhesion, migration, proliferation, apoptosis and intracellular signaling. This calcium-dependent adhesion molecule is an essential component of intercellular desmosome junctions. These adhesive desmosomal junctions serve to link adjacent cells together such as in the formation of the intestinal epithelial barrier. The desmosomes can also connect with the cytoskeleton through interactions with cytoplasmic plaque proteins and intermediate filaments. Desmoglein 2 can also serve as a receptor for adenoviruses.
