Notch2 Mouse anti-Human, BUV395, Clone: MHN2-25, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The MHN2-25 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to an extracellular domain of human Notch2
• Notch2 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein receptor and member of the Notch family that includes Notch1-Notch4
• Notch2 is cleaved in the Golgi and presents as a cell surface heterodimeric receptor
• The Notch2 receptor can bind to several membrane-bound ligands including Jagged1, Jagged2, Delta1 and Delta4
• Upon ligand binding, Notch2 undergoes proteolytic cleavage that results in the release of the Notch intracellular domain, NICD
• NICD translocates to the nucleus where it forms a transcriptional activator complex with various transcriptional factors
• These multimeric complexes either positively or negatively regulate the expression of multiple genes including those that orchestrate many facets of embryonic development and the subsequent functioning of multiple organ systems such as the hematopoietic, immune, cardiovascular, hepatic and renal systems
• Notch2 is expressed by cells of the lung and brain, as well as cells of the B lineage, thymocytes, and T cells
• Abnormalities in Notch2 expression may play a role in the development of B cell lymphomas
• 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
• BUV395 is a UV-excitable dye that has been developed exclusively by BD Biosciences
• With an excitation max of 348 nm and emission max of 395 nm, BUV395 can be excited by the 355nm laser and detected in a 379/28 filter
• This dye is optimal for multicolor flow cytometry because it has little to no spillover into other detectors.
