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.

The CH3A4A7 monoclonal antibody reacts with an extracellular epitope on human CD344 which is also known as Frizzled family receptor 4 (FZD4) or Frizzled-4. CD344 is a member of the Frizzled family of proteins within the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. CD344 is a receptor for Wnt proteins and participates in the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway (canonical Wnt signaling). Patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) carry mutations in Frizzled-4. This disease is characterized by retinal degeneration and hearing loss. On tissues, CD344 is almost ubiquitously expressed. CD344 is highly expressed in adult heart and skeletal muscle.
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.
