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 7E.17G9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD278, the Inducible Costimulatory molecule (ICOS), a 47-57 kDa homodimeric glycoprotein of the CD28 family of costimulatory molecules. ICOS is expressed on subpopulations of CD4-CD8- and CD4+CD8- (but not CD4-CD8+ or CD4+CD8+) thymocytes, on some T-cell lines, and on small numbers of peripheral leukocytes. It is upregulated on T lymphocytes following activation via the T-cell receptor. The T-cell activation marker H4 is the same molecule as ICOS. ICOS is a costimulatory receptor, and its ligand on antigen-presenting cells has been called B7RP-1, GL50, B7h, B7-H2, or LICOS. There is considerable evidence that the interaction of ICOS with its ligand is involved in the regulation of many, but not all, T-cell-mediated immune responses.
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.
