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).
The 809220 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD56 which is also known as Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM-1), Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), or embryonic NCAM (E-NCAM). CD56 (NCAM-1) is a 120-180 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by Ncam1 which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). Three different isoforms of CD56 (NCAM-1) have been described that vary in their cytoplasmic domains. The 180 kDa long isoform contains five consecutive IgC-like domains followed by two fibronectin type III domains in its extracellular region, a transmembrane sequence and a large cytoplasmic domain. A 140 kDa isoform has a shorter cytoplasmic tail whereas the 120 kDa isoform is glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked to the cell membrane. CD56 (NCAM-1) functions on cells as a hemophilic or heterophilic adhesion molecule and as a receptor for various ligands including certain growth factors. Throughout development and adulthood, CD56 (NCAM-1) is expressed on various cell types such as neurons where it might play roles in cellular migration, axonal guidance, and synapse formation. It can also be expressed on astrocytes as well as bone marrow neutrophils and some monocytes and might be involved in cellular migration and other functions. Polysialylation of CD56 (NCAM-1) reduces its ability to dimerize and can thereby affect the functions of cells that express it.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV786 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 786-nm. BD Horizon BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60-nm filter).
