CD51/CD61 Mouse anti-Human, Brilliant Violet 650, Clone: 23C6, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 23C6 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the Integrin αvβ3 heterodimeric complex (CD51/CD61) that is expressed on osteoclasts, endothelial cells,macrophages, melanoma cells, some B cells and in very low amounts on platelets
• This antibody has been reported to crossreact with chicken and rabbit, but not with rat αvβ3
• The integrin αvβ3heterodimer, often referred to as the vitronectin receptor, binds several ligands in addition to vitronectin including, von Willebrand factor, thrombospondin, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, neural adhesion molecule L1, laminin, fibronectin, and fibrinogen
• The binding of some ligands to the vitronectin receptor has been reported to be inhibited by the 23C6 monoclonal antibody The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV650 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 650nm
• BD Horizon BV650 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect APC-like dyes (eg, 660/20nm filter)
• Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors
• However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination
• BV650 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 650 nm
• Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there will be spillover into the APC and Alexa Fluor™ 700 detectors
• BV650 will have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon™ BV711 detector.
