CD104 Rat anti-Mouse, BUV395, Clone: 346-11A, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 346-11A monoclonal antibody specifically recognizesan epitope at the beginning of the cysteine-rich repeat region of the 200-kDa integrin β4 chain (CD104), which is found on the cell surface as a heterodimeric complex with the integrin α6 chain (CD49f)
• The α6β4(CD49f/CD104) complex binds to laminins and is expressed on the basal surface of a variety of epithelial cell types, particularly on stratified squamous epithelia, and is also found in peripheral nerves, in certain subsets of endothelial cells, and on immature thymocytes
• It has also been identified on a number of tumor tissues and participates in tumor progression events
• Localization of both human and mouse epidermal α6β4 integrin to hemidesmosomes suggests that this heterodimer playsa role in epidermal adhesion to the basement membrane
• 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.
