Description

• The 28-14-8 antibody reacts with theα3 domain of the H-2D[b] MHC class I alloantigen
• The antibody binds to H-2D[b] in the presence or absence of theβ2 microglobulin chain
• It cross-reacts with theα3 domain of H-2L[d], but not with K[d] or D[d], and with H-2D[q] and/or L[q]
• Reactivity with haplotypes k, f, p, r, /and s /has not been observed
• mAb 28-14-8 has been shown to block H-2L[d]- specific and H- 2L[d]-restricted antigen-specific lysis of target cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), but it does not block recognition of H-2L[d] positive target cells by Ly-6G2-positive NK cells
• 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.
