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 MIH5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD274, also known as B7-H1 or PDL1, a 43-kDa glycoprotein encoded by the Pdcd1lg1 gene of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. Pdcd1lg1 mRNA is expressed in more tissues than other members of the B7 family; transcripts are found in lymphoid tissues and many, but not all, non-lymphoid tissues. The protein has been detected at low levels on resting peripheral T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. B7-H1 mRNA and protein expression are upregulated upon activation of T and B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and epidermal keratinocytes by a variety of stimulatory factors. B7-H1's receptor, PD-1, contains an ITIM (Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif) on its intracytoplasmic region and is expressed on activated B and T lymphocytes, suggesting that B7-H1-PD-1 interaction may be involved in the negative regulation of immune responses. The second PD-1 ligand, B7-DC (PD-L2), is also a member of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily. Furthermore, B7-H1 may participate in positive immunoregulation, or costimulation of T cells, through an additional receptor, which is not PD-1 and distinct from the alternate receptor for B7-DC. The MIH5 antibody blocks the binding of PD-1-Ig to B7-H1 transfectants.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This dye has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences to have minimal spillover into other detectors, making it an optimal choice for multicolor flow cytometry. With an Ex Max at 348 nm and an Em Max at 395 nm, BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.
