BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD138
BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD138
Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of CD138 expression on mouse bone marrow B lymphocytes.  Bone marrow cells from C57BL/6 mice were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. no. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 (Cat. No. 553092/561880) and with either BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562602, Left Panel) or with BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD138 antibody (Cat. No. 562610, Right Panel). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots showing the expression of CD138 (or Ig isotype control staining) versus CD45R/B220 were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable bone marrow cells. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer System.

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 with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 were removed.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

281-2

The 281-2 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the core protein of CD138 (Syndecan-1), a cell-surface, integral membrane heparan sulfate- and chondroitin sulfate-containing proteoglycan that binds to interstitial extracellular matrix molecules.  Syndecan-1 is predominantly expressed on epithelial cells, where its expression correlates with normal epithelial organization.  It is also expressed on B lymphocytes at specific stages during their differentiation: precursor B cells in the bone marrow, and antibody-secreting cells including plasma cells (but not mature peripheral B cells).  It is thus implicated in mediating B cell-matrix interactions.  CD138 expression is also regulated during embryonic development, and the molecule shows a tissue- specific structural polymorphism resulting from different post-translational  modifications.  The 281-2 antibody may be used to detect the differently glycosylated forms, because it reacts with the core protein.  Furthermore, the mAb detects the Syndecan-1 ectodomain which is cleaved from cell surfaces by a metalloproteinase.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes.  With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon™ BV421  can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon™ BV421  conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue™ conjugates.

BV421
The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
