CD45R Mouse Anti-Rat, Brilliant Violet 421, Clone: HIS24, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The HIS24 antibody reacts with a developmentally regulated form of CD45 found on most B lymphocytes, including developing B cells in the bone marrow and peripheral B cells, but not plasma cells
• The level of expression of this CD45R antigen appears to be an indicator of both maturational stages in the B-cell lineage and of functionally distinct B-cell subsets
• The HIS24 mAb, in combination with other markers such as TdT and Ig expression, is effective in the identification of B-cell progenitors
• CD45 is a member of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) family: Its intracellular (COOH-terminal) region contains two PTP catalytic domains, and the extracellular region is highly variable due to alternative splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6 (designated A, B, and C, respectively), plus differing levels of glycosylation
• The CD45 isoforms detected in the rat are cell type-, maturation-, and activation state-specific
• The CD45 isoforms play complex roles in T-cell and B-cell antigen receptor signal transduction
• The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes
• With an Ex Max of 407nm and Em Max at 421nm, BD Horizon BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50nm filter)
• BD Horizon BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue conjugates
• BV421 is a polymer-based dye excited by the violet laser and is one of the brightest fluorochromes offered by BD Biosciences
• Conjugates are typically 10 times brighter than Pacific Blue™ conjugates and are often as bright as or brighter than PE conjugates
• Due to nearly identical excitation and emission properties but different spillover characteristics, BD Horizon BV421, Pacific Blue™, and BD Horizon™ V450 cannot be used simultaneously.
