Vδ 6.3/2 TCR Hamster anti-Mouse, BUV395, Clone: 8F4H7B7, BD Optibuild™

Description

• The 8F4H7B7 antibody reacts with Vδ6.3/2 T-cell Receptor (TCR)-bearing T lymphocytes
• Originally defined as a member of the Vδ6 TCR subfamily, it is now proposed that the C57BL-derived Vδ6.3 is an allelic variant of Vδ6.2, found in A/J, AKR, BALB/c, C3H/He, and FVB mice
• mAb 8F4H7B7 crossreacts with Vδ6.4 and possibly Vδ6.6 in DBA/2 mice, and it also detects a subset ofγδTCR-bearing cells in CBA/J and C57L mice
• It does not recognize Vδ4, Vδ5, Vδ6.1, or Vδ6.5 TCR
• A subpopulation of thymocytes expressing Vδ6.3 or Vδ6.4 TCR (in C57BL/6 or DBA/2 mice, respectively) and low levels of CD90.2 (Thy-1.2) shares functional and phenotypic characteristics with NK-T cells
• SimilarδV 6.4 TCRexpressing lymphocytes make up significant proportions of theγδT-cell populations in the liver and spleen of DBA/2 mice
• Furthermore, T lymphocytes bearing Vδ6.3/2 TCR are found in the skin and intestinal epithelium and may represent a unique T-cell subpopulation with a potential for autoimmune reactivity
• 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.
