PE Mouse Anti-Human Ig κ Light Chain

Consider BD Horizon RealYellow™ 586 (RY586) Reagents, a bright and clean fluorochrome alternative to PE off the yellow-green laser. RY586 can be used alongside PE on spectral cytometers. More Info

BD Pharmingen™ PE Mouse Anti-Human Ig κ Light Chain

Name: PE Mouse Anti-Human Ig κ Light Chain
Brand: BD Pharmingen™
SKU: 555792

Clone G20-193

(RUO)

Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of Ig κ Light Chain expression on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were incubated in complete tissue culture medium overnight to minimize subsequent nonspecific immunofluorescent staining. The cells were harvested and stained with APC Mouse Anti-Human CD19 antibody (Cat. No. 555415/561742) and either PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 555749; Left Panel) or PE Mouse Anti-Human Ig κ Light Chain antibody (Cat. No. 555792/562052; Right Panel). The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of Ig κ Light Chain (or Ig isotype control staining) versus CD19 were derived from events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System and FloJo™ software.

Preparation And Storage

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

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

This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
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.

Format Details

R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
