CD105 Rat anti-Mouse, Brilliant Violet 650, Clone: MJ7/18, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The MJ7/18 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD105 (also known as endoglin) which is a homodimer of 90-kDa subunits and is predominantly expressed on vascular endothelial cells
• High levels of mouse endoglin mRNA have been reported to be detectable in the ovary, uterus, NCTC-2071 fibroblasts, and to a lesser extent, in heart, muscle and stromal cells in connective tissue of various organs
• Endoglin has been reported to play an essential role in embryonic angiogenesis
• Both mouse and human endoglin display strong amino-acid sequence homology to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions of the type III TGF-ß receptor
• The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes
• This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 650-nm
• BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20-nm filter)
• Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors
• However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
