CD45 Rat anti-Mouse, V500, Clone: 30-F11, BD

Description

• The 30-F11 clone has been reported to react with all isoforms and both alloantigens of CD45, which is found on hematopoietic stem cells and all cells of hematopoietic origin, except erythrocytes
• CD45 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed at high levels on the cell-surface, and its presence distinguishes leukocytes from non-hematopoietic cells
• CD45 is a member of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) family, where the intracellular carboxy-terminal region contains two PTP catalytic domains, and the extracellular region is highly variable due to alternative splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6 (designated as A, B, and C, respectively)
• CD45 isoforms play complex roles in T-cell and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction and the CD45 isoforms detected in the mouse are cell type-, maturation-, and activation state-specific
• The antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ V500, which has been developed for use in multicolor flow cytometry experiments and is available exclusively from BD Biosciences
• It is excited by the Violet laser with an Ex max of 415nm and Em Max at 500 nm
• BD Horizon V500 conjugates emit at a similar wavelength to Amcyan yet exhibit reduced spillover into the FITC channel

• When compensating dyes in this spectral range (such as Horizon™ V500 and AmCyan), the most accurate compensation can be obtained using single stained cellular controls
• Due to spectral differences between cells and beadsin this channel, using BD CompBeads can result in spillover errors for V500 and AmCyan reagents.Therefore, the use of BD CompBeads or BD CompBeads Plus to determine spillover values for these reagents is not recommended.Different V500 reagents (e.g
• CD4 vs
• CD45) can have slightly different fluorescence spillover therefore, it may also be necessary to use clone specific compensation controls when using these reagents.
