Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions that minimize unconjugated dye and antibody.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.   However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes 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

  1. 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.
  2. Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  4. 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.

Ab93

The Ab93 monoclonal antibody (aka, Antibody93) specifically recognizes a common epitope on the extracellular domains of mouse CD16 (Fc gamma RIII/FcγRIII encoded by Fcgr3) and CD32 (Fc gamma RIIB/FcγRIIB encoded by Fcgr2b). Therefore, Ab93 is referred to as an Anti-CD16/32 or Anti-FcgRII/III antibody. CD16 is variably expressed on neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells whereas CD32 is expressed on B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets and endothelial cells. CD16 and CD32 serve as low affinity receptors for IgG Fc constant regions and are involved in regulating various cellular functions including antibody-dependent cellular toxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, effector cell degranulation, and B cell proliferation. In addition to identifying CD16- or CD32-positive cells, the Ab93 antibody is useful in phenotyping studies for blocking nonspecific staining due to Fc receptor-mediated binding of other antibodies. Ab93 is also useful in functional studies due to its Fc receptor blocking capability or by its capacity to crosslink Fc receptors leading to signal transduction that triggers cellular responses. Ab93 (Rat IgG2a, λ) and clone 2.4G2 (Rat IgG2b, κ), another mouse CD16/32-specific antibody, reportedly have similar specificities. The differences in the Ig heavy chain or Ig light chain isotypes of these CD16/32-specific antibodies afford flexibility in the design of experimental model systems involving other antibodies.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.

BUV395
The BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet 395 (BUV395) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This base dye is a polymer fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 348-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 395-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BUV395 is designed to be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 380-nm (e.g., 379/28-nm bandpass filter). BUV395 is the ideal dye when using only one detector on the ultraviolet laser as it spills into no other detectors and no other fluors spill into it. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
