Flow cytometric analysis using BD OptiBuild™ BV421 Mouse Anti-Rat CD49d antibody (Cat. No. 744834; solid line histogram) on live Lewis rat splenocytes, with corresponding Isotype Control (dotted line histogram). Flow cytometry was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Flow Cytometer System.

Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
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 MRα4-1 antibody reacts with the integrin α4 chain, which is expressed as a heterodimer with either of two β chains, β1 or β7. The α4β1 integrin (VLA-4, CD49d/CD29) is expressed on peripheral T and B lymphocytes, thymocytes, and monocytes; while the α4β7 integrin (LPAM-1) is expressed on peripheral lymphocytes. These integrins mediate a variety of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, recognizing the ligands CD106 (VCAM-1), MAdCAM-1, and fibronectin. It has been reported that soluble mAb MRα4-1 partially inhibits in vitro binding of VCAM-1 and mast cells to fibronectin and inhibits the enhanced degranulation of IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 basophilic leukemia cell line induced on fibronectin-coated plates. Furthermore, plate-bound MRα4-1 antibody enhances the degranulation of IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells; and subcutaneous injection of MRα4-1 mAb, along with anti-CD49e and anti-CD61 antibodies, inhibits experimentally induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis.
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.
