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 HP-3D9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD94 which is also known as KP43. CD94 is expressed on the cell surface as a ~70 kDa, disulfide-linked, type II transmembrane glycoprotein dimer. It is encoded by KLRD1 (Killer cell lectin like receptor D1) which belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. CD94 is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, especially activated NK cells. It is also expressed on γ/δ TCR+ T lymphocytes, NK-T cells, and on some CD8+CD56+ α/β TCR+ cells. CD94 associates with various NKG2 receptors to form receptors for HLA class I molecules and plays a role in regulating cellular adhesion and activation. The HP-3D9 antibody can reportedly inhibit the cytolytic activity of activated NK cells.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 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 650-nm. BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor® 700 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
