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 E50-2440 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Siglec-F. Siglecs are the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin superfamily lectins defined in the human, each of which has a distinctive expression pattern in the hematopoietic system and at least some of which are known to mediate cell-cell interactions. Orthologous proteins of human Siglec-1 (Sialoadhesin or CD169), Siglec-2 (CD22), and Siglec-4 (myelin-associated glycoprotein) have been characterized in the mouse. Human Siglec-3 (CD33) and Siglecs-5 through -10 are encoded by a cluster of closely related genes, and each has two cytoplasmic ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motifs). Similarly, mouse Siglec-F is encoded by the Siglecf gene in a syntenic cluster in the mouse, and the protein has sialic acid-binding activity and an intracytoplasmic ITIM. Its expression pattern differs from those of the human Siglec-3-related proteins in that it is found on immature cells of the myelomonocytic lineage, with reduced expression on mature neutrophils and monocytes, and not on lymphoid cells. It has been proposed that mAb E50-2440 may be used for identification of immature myelomonocytic cells in the mouse.
This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
