CD61 Mouse Anti-Rat, BUV395, Clone: F11, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The F11 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes integrin 3 chain (CD61), which associates with the integrin v chain (CD51), to form the vitronectin receptor found on endothelial cells, myeloid cells, and osteoclasts, and with the IIb chain (CD41) on platelets and megakaryocytes
• Both receptors mediate adhesion to fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor
• The F11 antibody reportedly blocks the in vitro attachment of osteoclasts to several ligands
• Weak F11 antibody reactivity with human osteoclasts, megakaryocytes, and platelets has also been reported
• 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.
