CD3 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: HIT3a, BD

Description

• The HIT3a monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human CD3 ε-chain, a 20 kDa subunit of the CD3/T cell antigen receptor complex found on 70-80% of normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes and 60-85% of thymocytes
• Studies from the HLDA Workshop show that this antibody can be mitogenic for T lymphocytes
• The CD3 complex plays a role in signal transduction during antigen recognition by the T cell receptor for antigen
• HIT3a antibody does not stain intracellular CD3 unlike the other CD3-specific clone, UCHT1
• This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes
• With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set
• BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm
• Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers
• BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.
