Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant™ Stain Buffer should be used anytime BD Horizon Brilliant™ dyes are used in a multicolor flow cytometry panel. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. When BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer is used in in the multicolor panel, it should also be used in the corresponding compensation controls for all dyes to achieve the most accurate compensation. For the most accurate compensation, compensation controls created with either cells or beads should be exposed to BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer for the same length of time as the corresponding multicolor panel. 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
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- 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.

The MIH64 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) which is also known as, Differentiation of ESCs 1 (Dies1). VISTA is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the Ig superfamily. VISTA has homology to the B7 family ligand, PD-L1 (CD274), and is likewise known as PD-1H. VISTA is expressed on naïve and activated T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. VISTA functions as an inhibitory ligand. It can serve as a negative immune-checkpoint protein that suppresses T cell cytokine production and proliferation. It is also involved in regulating stem cell differentiation.
