TCR γδ Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 605, Clone: B1, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The B1 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the γδ T cell receptor ( γδ TCR)
• This receptor complex consists of two disulfide-linked transmembrane glycoproteins, a γchain (45-60 kDa) and a δ subunit (40-60 kDa)
• The γδ TCR is associated with the signal-transducing CD3 complex
• The γδ TCR is expressed by thymocytes and by peripheral T cell subsets (γδ T cells) that are located in the blood, liver, skin and various lymphoid and mucosal tissues
• γδ T cells contribute to both innate and adaptive immune responses to infections and tumors
• Reports suggest that γδ T cells may also play roles in antigen presentation and the regulation of autoimmune responses
• 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.
