Preparation and Storage
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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Pacific Blue™ is a trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.

The J168-540 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to human CD272, also known as BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator), an inhibitory receptor expressed in bone marrow and thymus on developing B and T cells. In the periphery, BTLA is expressed by B cells, T cells, bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, and macrophages. After T cell activation, BTLA appears to be expressed at higher levels on Th1 cell populations than in Th2 cell populations. Upon binding the herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM/LIGHT-R/CD270), CD272 undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and inhibits T cell proliferation in a BTLA-dependent manner. CD272 has structural similarities to two other lymphocyte inhibitory receptors, CTLA-4 and PD-1 and is a member of the CD28-like family of coreceptors. Based on these observations, CD272 is considered to be a negative regulator of lymphocyte activation and/or function.
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.
