CD115 (CSF-1R) Rat anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 711, Clone: 9-4D2-1E4 (also known as 9-4D2), BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 9-4D2-1E4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD115 which is also known as Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) or Macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (M-CSFR)
• This type I transmembrane glycoprotein is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that belongs to the Ig superfamily
• It is expressed on a variety of cells including those committed to the mononuclear phagocyte lineage, such as, monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts
• CSF-1 binds to and signals through CSF-1R homodimers which undergo tyrosine autophosphorylation and transduce downstream signaling pathways resulting in cytoskeletal reorganization and gene expression
• CSF-1R activation stimulates the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of cells within the mononuclear phagocyte system
• Acting through CD115, CSF-1 induces macrophage spreading and motility, and in combination with RANKL, CSF-1 drives the differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes to become osteoclasts
• Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is another ligand for CD115 that can induce similar, as well as, some different biological responses by CD115-positive target 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.
