CD88 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 711, Clone: D53-1473, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The D53-1473 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD88, a 40 kDa polypeptide expressed on granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages
• CD88 is a G type protein-coupled receptor with seven transmembrane domains
• It binds to C5a, theαchain of the complement component C5
• C5a is cleaved from C5 during complement activation
• The binding of C5a to C5a receptor (C5aR, CD88) on granulocytes leads to various effects including shedding of selectins, upregulation of adhesion molecules, chemotaxis, granule exocytosis and activation of NADPH oxidase
• Clone D53-1473 was developed using a known C5aR N-terminal extracellular hydrophilic region (a.a
• 1-31) peptide as immunogen
• This antibody is useful in inflammation and chemotaxis research
• The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 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 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711nm
• BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor™ 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20nm filter)
• Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors
• However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination
• BV711 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 711 nm
• This dye offers a very bright choice for the violet laser
• Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors
• BV711 will also have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet 786 detector.
