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 BD® 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 BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
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.
Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
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.

Antibody Details

MRα4-1

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.

RY586

The BD Horizon RealYellow™ 586 (RY586) Dye is part of the BD family of yellow-green dyes. It is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 565-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 586-nm. Driven by BD innovation, RY586 can be used on both spectral and conventional cytometers and is designed to be excited by the Yellow-Green laser (561-nm) with minimal excitation by the 488-nm Blue laser. For conventional instruments equipped with a Yellow-Green laser (561-nm), RY586 can be used as an alternative to PE and we recommend using an optical filter centered near 586-nm (eg, a 586/15-nm bandpass filter). For spectral instruments equipped with a Yellow-Green laser (561-nm), it can be used in conjunction with PE. Compared to PE, RY586 is similar in brightness, minimal spillover into Blue detectors, and increased spillover into the 610/20-nm (PE-CF594) detector. Please ensure that your instrument configuration (lasers and optical filters) is appropriate for this dye.
