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.

Companion Products
The MIH65.rMAb is a recombinant monoclonal antibody derived from MIH65 hybridoma cells. MIH65.rMAb specifically binds to human V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) like the conventional MIH65 antibody and performs like the MIH65 antibody when used to stain cells and analyze them by flow cytometry. VISTA is also known as B7-H5 (B7H5), PD-1H, DD1alpha (DD1α), chromosome 10 open reading frame 54 (C10orf54), Platelet Receptor Gi24 (GI24), or Stress induced secreted protein 1 (SISP1). VISTA is a 55-65 kDa single-pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by VSIR (V-set immunoregulatory receptor) which belongs to the V-set domain containing family within the Ig superfamily. VISTA is primarily expressed on precursors and mature cells of the hematopoietic lineage including, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells (DC), T cells, regulatory T cells (Treg), and natural killer (NK) cells but not B cells. VISTA functions as an inhibitory regulator that can suppress T cell proliferation and cytokine production.
This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
