Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80
Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80

Multicolor flow cytometric analyses of F4/80 expression. The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of F4/80 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD11b (Mouse Splenocytes; Top Plots) or CD117 (Mouse Peritoneal Exudate Cells; Bottom Plots) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) monocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

       Top Plots - Mouse splenocytes. C57BL/6 mouse splenic leucocytes were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™) (Cat. No. 553141/553142) and stained with PE Rat Anti- CD11b antibody (Cat. No. 553311/557397/561689) and with either Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rat IgG2a Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557676; Left Plot) or Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80 antibody (Cat. No. 567201; Right Plot) at 1 µg/test. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution (Cat. No. 555815/555816) was added to cells right before analysis.

       Bottom Plots - Mouse peritoneal exudate cells (PEC). C57BL/6 mouse PEC were similarly pretreated with Mouse BD Fc Block™, stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat Anti-Mouse CD117 antibody (Cat. No. 566290/562609) and either Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rat IgG2a Isotype Control (Left Plot) or Alexa Fluor™ 488 Rat Anti-Mouse F4/80 antibody (Right Plot) at 1 µg/test flowed by BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution, and analyzed.

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 the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.   However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
  3. 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.
  4. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
  5. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

T45-2342

The T45-2342 monoclonal antibody recognizes the mouse F4/80 antigen which is also known as EGF-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1 (EMR1). F4/80 is a 160 kDa glycoprotein that belongs to the EGF-TM7 family of seven-transmembrane spanning cell surface molecules. It is expressed on the surface of granulocytes and a wide range of mature tissue macrophages including, Kupffer cells, splenic red pulp macrophages, microglia, gut lamina propria macrophages, and Langerhans cells. F4/80 expression has also been reported on subpopulations of dendritic cells. F4/80 expression is heterogeneous and may be increased during inflammatory responses as observed in various mouse models of colitis, diabetes and brain injury.

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.
