Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat Anti-Mouse CD83
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of CD83 expression by mature mouse dendritic cells. Mouse bone marrow cells were cultured for 6 days with recombinant mouse GM-CSF (Cat. No. 554586) and stimulated for 24 hours with lipopolysaccharide. The bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were harvested and preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142). The cells were then stained with PE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD11c antibody (Cat. No. 553802/557401/561044) and either Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557720; Left Panel) or Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat Anti-Mouse CD83 antibody (Cat. No. 563539; Right Panel). Two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns of CD11c versus CD83 (or Ig Isotype control staining) for gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable leucocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System.

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 Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 488 was removed.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  4. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
  5. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
  6. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  7. 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.
  8. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

Michel-19

The Michel-19 antibody reacts with CD83, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed on mature dendritic cells and activated T lymphocytes.  Furthermore, thymic cortical epithelial cells express Cd83 transcripts.  CD83 is involved in the regulation of T-cell development and immune responses, and its ligand is found on a subpopulation of splenic B lymphocytes.

Alexa Fluor™ 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Dye is part of the BD blue family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 494-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 517-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 488 is designed to be excited by the Blue laser (488 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 530/30-nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
