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. 563794/566349) or the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer Plus (Cat. No. 566385).
Product Notices
- 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).
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

The SE5A5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to a common epitope on CD172a/SIRPα (90 kDa) and CD172b/SIRPβ1 (50 kDa). These transmembrane glycoproteins are members of the Signal Regulatory Protein (SIRP) family that, in turn, belongs to the Immunoglobulin superfamily. The SIRP family is comprised of two subgroups, SIRPα and SIRPβ that are distinguished by the presence (α) or absence (β) of a cytoplasmic domain containing two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIM). CD172a/SIRPα is expressed on CD34+ stem/progenitor cells, cardiomyocytes, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, dendritic cells, and in the central nervous system. It binds to CD47 and is implicated in mediating inhibitory signals via the ITIM/SHP-2 association. CD172b/SIRPβ1 does not possess a cytoplasmic domain but instead the transmembrane domain contains a positively-charged residue that can interact with another transmembrane protein, DAP-12/KARAP. DAP-12 has two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) within its cytoplasmic domain that are thought to link CD172b to cellular activation signaling. CD172b is expressed on myeloid cells, including peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes. It is not expressed on CD34+ cells. CD172a and CD172b have complementary roles in signal regulation and may work together in tuning certain cellular responses to stimuli.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates.
