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 837535 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 8 (Siglec-8) which is also known as Sialoadhesin family member 2 (SAF-2). Siglec-8 is a single-pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by SIGLEC8 which belongs to the Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins (Siglecs) superfamily. Siglec-8 has an Ig-like V-set domain followed by two Ig-like C-type domains in its extracellular region. Its intracellular region contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) which might contribute to inhibitory signal transduction upon engagement of this receptor. A short form of Siglec-8 that results from alternative splicing and which lacks most of the intracellular domain has also been identified. Siglec-8 is expressed on eosinophils and mast cells, and weakly on basophils. Siglec-8 appears to serve as an adhesion molecule which mediates cell-cell interactions through its binding to 6' sulfated sialyl Lewis X carbohydrate structures. Siglec-8 seems to be involved in signal transduction since engagement of Siglec-8 can induce apoptosis in eosinophils or inhibit mast cell degranulation.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BV480 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 436-nm and Em Max at 478-nm, BD Horizon BV480 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon BV510 (525/40-nm) filter set. BV480 has less spillover into the BV605 detector and, in general, is brighter than BV510.
